Studio Condenser Microphone TASCAM's TM-280 is a high-performance, studio quality condenser microphone that features: price 18500 • switchable high-pass filter : allows the user to reduce rumble and eliminate low frequency energy when needed • -10dB pad: drops the input volume when your signal is loud enough to distort the recording These features, when combined with the pure gold-sputtered diaphragm, allows the TM-280 to gracefully capture performances ranging from a delicate acoustic session to the powerful levels of electric guitars, horns, percussion and drum kit overheads. And, while the TM-280 may be complex and sensitive on the inside, it is tough on the outside and built to last. Its premium components are protected by a durable internal construction on a stout framework, then encased in an aluminum shell and sturdy microphone mesh.
