TASCAM TM-70 End-Address Dynamic Microphone / Super-Cardioid / 30Hz-20kHz / XLR

Description

The TM-70 is an end-address dynamic microphone designed to capture clear, natural vocal performance for broadcast and streaming environments. It emphasizes the voice while reducing room and ambient noise to produce mix-ready audio. The microphone’s tuning focuses on vocal clarity and natural midrange presence for fast integration into live and recorded workflows.

Key features include a super-cardioid directivity pattern that enhances isolation and reduces off-axis pickup. The dynamic element provides robust handling of high SPL sources and improved rejection of background noise. The TM-70 is voiced to minimize the need for corrective equalization, delivering consistent tonal results across different voices.

Technical performance covers a wide frequency range from 30Hz to 20kHz and a sensitivity of -51dB +/-3dB measured at 1kHz. Output impedance is nominally 250 ohms +/-30% at 1kHz, providing a standard load for professional preamps and mixers. The super-cardioid polar pattern maintains focused directivity while preserving natural vocal character across the frequency band.

Connectivity is provided via a standard 3-pin XLR male connector for balanced analog output. The microphone is compatible with professional mixers, audio interfaces, broadcast consoles, and preamps that accept low-impedance dynamic microphones. No external power is required which simplifies integration into existing audio chains.

Use cases include podcast production, live streaming, remote broadcasting, and voiceover work where focused vocal capture is required. The TM-70 performs well in less-than-ideal acoustic environments by prioritizing the direct sound of the voice over room ambience. It supports both single-voice and multi-host setups when combined with standard broadcast gain staging and signal routing.

Built for reliability and straightforward setup, the TM-70 features a durable construction and an end-address design that encourages consistent mic technique. Its resistance to ambient noise and predictable tonal balance reduce setup time and monitoring overhead. The result is a microphone that is easy to deploy and maintain in studio and field productions.
