Tascam TM-82 Dynamic Microphone Vocal Instrument Mic

The Tascam TM-82 is a cardioid dynamic microphone engineered for vocalists and instrumentalists who need a dependable, no-nonsense microphone for live performance and studio recording. Its all-metal construction — from the body to internal components — is built to endure the demands of nightly gigs, rehearsals, and frequent packing and unpacking. The cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on the sound source directly in front of the capsule while attenuating sound from the sides and rear, which helps control feedback on stage and reduces bleed from nearby instruments or monitors.

As a dynamic microphone, the TM-82 operates without phantom power, making it universally compatible with mixers, audio interfaces, PA systems, and portable recorders equipped with standard XLR inputs. This simplicity makes it a practical choice for musicians who want to plug in and perform without worrying about power requirements or fragile components. The included mic holder fits standard microphone stands, so the TM-82 is ready to use out of the box. Whether placed in front of a guitar amplifier, positioned on a snare drum, or used for lead and backup vocals, the TM-82 offers a straightforward, durable tool for capturing sound in demanding environments.
