For immediate release - Watford - TASCAM, the brand synonymous with professional recording products, has announced the launch of the TM-2X stereo X-Y pattern cardioid microphone dedicated for use with DSLR cameras. Featuring the same high-quality cardioid microphones made popular by the company’s hand-held digital recorders, the TM-2X is the ideal solution for digital film makers to combine high-quality audio with high-definition video.

Available in the UK now, the TASCAM TM-2X has a UK SRP of £99.99 inc. VAT.

The TM-2X is fitted with a pair of high-quality X-Y pattern cardioid microphones that are able to rotate horizontally 180 degrees. Equipped with a switchable low-cut filter and a two-stage output level adjustment to adjust for varying cameras input levels, the body is mounted on a floating support structure to eliminate handling noise, which can be attached to a camera via the standard hot shoe mount.

For additional noise isolation, the TM-2X ships with an isolation arm to distance the microphone from camera lens auto-focus noise and place it closer to the audio source being recorded. For outdoor recording, the also included furry-windshield can be attached.

The TM-2X plugs into the cameras’ 3.5mm mic input and is powered from the standard plug-in power (JEITA standard CP-1203A ) supplied by the DSLR camera.

Main Features

• High-grade stereo condenser microphone for high-quality sound recording with DSLR or mirrorless cameras
• Can be mounted directly to the camera accessory shoe and swivelled by 180 degrees to capture sound sources in front or behind the user
• Tripod attachment screw-hole (1/4-inch) to place the microphone apart from the camera
• XY orientation for clear stereo definition and minimal phase differences
• Accepts high sound pressure level up to 125 dB SPL
• Switchable input sensitivity for optimum performance with any camera model
