Neumann TLM 107 BK Large-Diaphragm Multipattern Condenser Microphone (Black)

Premium Multi-Pattern Studio Microphone for Professional Audio Recording

The Neumann TLM 107 BK is a large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for precision recording in studio environments. With five selectable polar patterns, integrated highpass filter and pad options, and a uniquely flat frequency response, this microphone delivers accuracy, tonal balance, and sonic flexibility for a wide range of sources. Ideal for vocals, instruments, and ambient room capture, the matte black TLM 107 combines technical versatility with the smooth, detailed sound engineers have come to expect from Neumann. Whether you’re tracking voiceovers or full band arrangements, this mic is built to handle any recording situation with consistency and clarity.

Flat Frequency Response for Clean and Detailed Recordings

What sets the TLM 107 BK apart is its impressively flat frequency response extending to 8kHz, achieved through a specially developed capsule modeled after the Neumann D-01. This means you get sound that’s uncolored and true to the original source, making it an ideal choice for capturing vocals, acoustic instruments, or any material where accuracy is critical. Above 8kHz, a gentle presence boost adds clarity without inducing harshness or sibilance—perfect for vocal intelligibility in dense mixes. With this level of fidelity, you’ll capture subtle textures and tonal details that get lost on lesser microphones.

Five Polar Patterns Provide True Studio Flexibility

The TLM 107 BK adapts effortlessly to different studio applications thanks to its five selectable polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, figure-8, and two intermediate stages. This makes it a strong asset for solo vocals, stereo mic techniques, room ambiance, and more. Unlike many multipattern microphones that vary significantly in tone when switching between settings, the TLM 107 maintains tonal consistency, allowing you to choose the ideal pattern based on your recording needs—not based on which one sounds the best.

Three Pad and Highpass Filter Settings for Source Control

Built to handle loud instruments and minimize low-frequency rumble, the TLM 107 BK includes three pad settings and three highpass filter options. You can apply a -6 dB or -12 dB pad to accommodate high-SPL sources like drums or brass without distortion. Similarly, the selectable highpass filters help reduce proximity effect or eliminate unwanted low-end from environmental noise or mic stands. These built-in tools allow for clean signal capture with fewer compromises during the tracking process.

Streamlined Navigation Switch With LED Feedback

Forget recessed switches or hard-to-read toggle indicators. The TLM 107 BK simplifies its onboard controls with a single rear-mounted navigation switch that cycles through polar pattern, pad, and highpass settings. Clear LED indicators show exactly which option you’ve selected, making adjustments fast and user-friendly—ideal when the mic is already mounted and ready to record. This thoughtful interface helps engineers and artists stay focused on performance rather than setup.

Built to Handle Professional Sessions With a Sleek Finish

This matte black version of the TLM 107 not only looks refined but is also designed to stand up to daily studio use. Its acoustically engineered grille prevents plosives and protects the capsule without compromising tone. Included with the microphone is a sturdy stand mount for precise positioning and a wooden box for secure storage. Its transformerless circuitry ensures low self-noise and a transparent signal path, while standard +48V phantom power compatibility makes it ready for any pro-grade interface or preamp.

Modern Sound With Legendary Neumann Craftsmanship

Unlike vintage-focused condenser mics, the TLM 107 BK is engineered for today’s recording needs with forward-thinking design and performance. It retains the iconic smoothness Neumann is known for while providing modern controls and flexibility. Whether you’re building your first serious mic locker or expanding a high-end studio setup, the TLM 107 BK gives you the tools, precision, and tonal integrity needed for professional productions across any genre.
