what's up with the new tlm-103's?

[xy]

anybody catch a glimpse of those ugly freakin' things?

i thought the original ones looked and sounded just fine, and i
believe they sold quite well for Neumann. now they look completely
corny, and i'm not smart enough with electronics to even guess why
they went with a "robot vulva" look.

This is still the new and the old TLM 103.
A large diaphragm microphone for all applications:

This is the new BCM 104 condenser microphone
of the the new broadcast line for professional radio announcing:

Are you a radio announcer?

Anybody heard one? Much less bulky than a typical announcer mic hanging
in its shockmount...

Hhmm, I think the BCM 104 looks kinda interesting. Although it also
possibly looks like a demo/eval TLM 103 returned by Roger Daltry . . . . . .
