=== Assistant: That microphone is a Neumann TLM 103 — the same model you just bought. ===
That microphone is a Neumann TLM 103 — the same model you just bought.

Here’s how I can tell:

# Capsule housing & grille shape
* The TLM 103 has a very specific tall, slightly tapered grille with a flat front and rounded edges — identical to what’s in your image.
# Silver body with a single ring and Neumann badge placement
* The mic in your photo has the same brushed-silver finish and the thin metal ring that separates the grille from the body.
* The Neumann diamond badge would be on the opposite side since she’s singing into the back/side of the mic.
# Shock mount style
* She’s using the Neumann EA1 / EA4 style shock mount (in black), which is commonly paired with the TLM series.
# The small CE and model markings
* The faint text at the bottom of the mic body (near the XLR) matches how Neumann prints the certification markings on the TLM 103.

===== It’s definitely a Neumann TLM 103 — and she’s using it in the same orientation/style you will be: close, intimate, with a bit of a downward angle. =====

If you want, I can tell you:
* How to match the exact tone she’s getting
* Recommended preamp plugin chains with your Apollo Solo
* Optimal distance/angle to mimic this vocal setup

Just let me know!
