The TM1 condenser microphone is the affordable, premium-quality way to get what you really hear into your recorder or computer DAW. Thanks to the pressure gradient transducer and internally shock-mounted 1.0" gold-sputtered large diaphragm capsule, the TM1 mic delivers an open transparent sound with excellent transient response, and large frequency response from 20 Hz - 20 kHz. Its cardioid pickup pattern is superb for capturing the most subtle vocal or instrumental nuance, while rejecting undesirable off -axis sounds.
