The extent to which a device is able to capture particular voices clearly when recording video has a huge impact on the overall quality of the finished video. Using a super-cardioid microphone enables one’s voice to be focused while recording. Super-cardioid microphone is more precise than a standard unidirectional mic which captures more sound elements from a specific position where the mic is pointed.
With super-cardioid condenser mic on the TM-150SG, you can easily setup on any DSLR camera that comes with shoe mounts and XLR intput connectors. In addition, with super-cardioid condenser mic on the TM-150SG, you can easily setup on any DSLR camera that comes with shoe mounts and XLR intput connectors. In addition, you can also utilize omnidirectional mics mounted in the TASCAM multi-track linear PCM recorder such as DR-701D or DR-70D in order to capture clear voice and ambient sound in the recording. It is an ideal shotgun mic for professional filmmakings.
By easily mounting this Super-cardioid mic to your DSLR, you will be able to start your film project with HD sound quality right away.
Attach the mic clip with shoe mount to your DSLR camera and connect the microphone to the DSLR via input connector in order to start right away. Instead of using lower-stardard mic from the camera, This super-cardioid mic is extremely directional enabling it to capture the sound during interviews.It operates with AA batteries that can supply phatom power to the unit.
For interview recordings, you want a mic with super-cardioid directivity that will eliminate as much background noise as possible in order to only pick up the voice of the speaker you're recording. Super-cardioid microphone is even more precise and defined than a standard unidirectional mic, which enabling users to record interviews with minimal background noise simply by pointing the mic at the speaker.
Any sound lower than 100 Hz is generally considered an unnecessary bandwidth when recording vocals. This bandwidth also contains a lot of noise, so this low-frequency noise can be easily reduced by using the low cut filter on the TM-150SG.
When recording outdoors, wind is the main concern that cannot be avoided. It can cause unnecessary background noises and make it difficult to hear what's being said in an interview. Using the windscreen can dramatically reduce the amount of wind noise.
As the TM-150SG is a shotgun mic designed for video recording, it comes with a dedicated microphone clip that can be attached to the shoe-mount of a video camera. It also has a XLR output so can be connected to external recorders such as the DR-701D via balanced XLR connector in order to decrease the background noise.
