Well this Neumann bull**** with acc. is a real pain in the ass .
When you think about it ,you bought your tlm 103 but now you can record only if you are laying down on the floor cos you dont have the shock mount for the mic. And you know what else, if you decide to buy any other neumann mic and its not tlm 193 you cant use that one with shock mount from tlm 103 but you have to pay even more for the next original ****ing neumann shock mount. And guess what else , if something breaks and you have to fix it you`d pay for the ****in 20 cent screw like 30 euros to order it from neumann and u have to wait for it for another 8 weeks .
If you really think about it for the price of a shock mount for tlm 103 you can buy 2 oktavas or similar with shock mount or one AT with everything you need and ready to go .... It is really ****ed up
This guys are really ****ed and they think they are above the industry but they are making one of the best sounding mics out there .....
