The TASCAM TM-82 is a dynamic microphone designed for capturing vocals and instruments in both live performance and studio recording applications. Featuring a cardioid polar pattern, it effectively reduces feedback risk while producing a moderate proximity effect that adds warmth to vocal and instrumental sources. With a frequency range of 50 Hz to 16 kHz and -53 dB sensitivity, the TM-82 delivers clear audio reproduction without requiring phantom power. Constructed with durable metal materials, this microphone includes a standard threaded stand mount and is suitable for home studio use through professional live event applications.
