TASCAM TM-95GN

Product overview

The TASCAM TM-95GN is a gooseneck condenser microphone with its own stand, perfect for the podium, the board room, conferencing and the podcast host.

It uses a condenser element known for capturing the subtle nuances of speech: a lightweight diaphragm in a custom capsule delivers excellent audio fidelity with rejection of unwanted off-axis sound. A dual gooseneck makes positioning easy, the dedicated stand is very stable and has its own ON/OFF switch, and the XLR output is on the back of the stand. A custom pop windscreen and an XLR-XLR cable are included, so it is ready to use straight out of the box with any mixer that supplies phantom power.

Key features

• Back electret condenser element for clear speech
• Cardioid (unidirectional) pattern
• Dual gooseneck: position the microphone freely without an extra mic stand
• Dedicated stand, very stable, with its own ON/OFF switch
• XLR output on the back of the stand
• Custom pop windscreen against plosives and sibilance
• 48 V phantom power; XLR-XLR mic cable included

Podcasts and talk shows

Clear voices keep listeners watching. Use the TM-95GN for the host and a TASCAM TM-90BM boundary microphone for the guests, connected to an audio interface with at least two XLR inputs such as the TASCAM MiNiSTUDIO CREATOR US-42. On camera, a real gooseneck microphone also makes the show look better.

Conferences, seminars and podiums

A gooseneck microphone is easy to set up without a sound engineer. The TASCAM System Design Guide uses the TM-95GN in conference rooms, parliaments, panel discussions with automatic mixing, auditoriums and banquet halls.

Switch off between speakers

The ON/OFF switch on the stand lets the speaker switch the microphone off when no one is talking, so no unnecessary noise is recorded.
