About This Item
The TASCAM TM-80 Condenser Microphone is a cardioid condenser microphone designed for podcasting, streaming, and studio recording applications, featuring an 18mm aluminum diaphragm that supports detailed audio capture for vocals, voiceovers, and instruments. Its unidirectional cardioid pattern helps focus on the primary sound source while reducing ambient noise, making it suitable for home studio use, content creation, and voice recording in untreated spaces. With a 20Hz–20kHz frequency response and the ability to handle sound pressure levels up to 136dB, it can be used for both spoken voice and louder sound sources such as guitar amplifiers and drums. The microphone requires 9–48V phantom power and connects via XLR to compatible audio interfaces, mixers, or preamps, supporting recording, production, and livestreaming workflows. It includes a shock mount, tabletop stand, and XLR cable, providing a desktop microphone setup for podcasting, streaming, interviews, meetings, and general audio recording.
