In this installment of It Goes to 11, pop star payton introduces fans to his favorite microphone: the Neumann TLM 103.

After discovering the mic in a studio session two years ago, payton is excited to let fans hear the magic of the TLM 103 on his upcoming music. "I don't love a lot of overproduction. I like to keep things super simple," he explains. "It has a really cool proximity range on it, so the closer you are to the mic, the deeper it is."
