Perfect for meeting rooms, podcasts film production and studio work. the TASCAM TM-90BM Boundary Microphone provides a low profile option for many common audio recording tasks. Designed primarily for tabletop use, the TM-90BM captures sound by way of a hemispherical pickup pattern and is a great way to capture recordings of podcast groups or meeting attendees without having to bother with multiple mics and submixers. The TM-90BM may also be placed on floors or walls to capture drum kits, acoustic pianos, guitar, percussion and more.
In online podcasting, talk shows often include invited guests. With the TM-90BM, all you have to do is place the mic on a center table, supply it with phantom power, and you're ready to go. Even in situations in which multiple guests are involved in a conversation, you can still record everyones' voices clearly with only one unit of TM-90BM instead of preparing extra microphones for each guest.
If you set up a TM-90BM for another MC host, you'll have everything you need to facilitate and record a top quality talk show.
Transcribing meetings demands clear audio to record content accurately. While supplying each participant in the meeting with their own microphone might be ideal, setting up a massive audio system would be difficult and costly. Using the TM-90BM means you can cut back on the number of microphones needed while still ensuring clear recordings. Its flat and compact design also prevents distraction by the presence of microphones for guests and will therefore be able to proceed the meeting efficiently.
While the TM-90BM features a hemispherical pickup pattern on the horizontal plane, it is also a unidirectional condenser microphone on the vertical plane, and can be positioned with the Tascam logo facing the audio source. Being a condenser microphone, the TM-90BM requires Phantom power which can be supplied remotely from your mixer, Mic preamp or audio interface as well as through the use of an on-board dry-cell battery.
The TM-90BM is able to easily handle louder sound sources making it an ideal choice for use as a room microphone when recording drums and percussion.
When capturing voices in a room, low frequencies may cause unwanted rumble or make speech difficult to understand. To address this, the TM-90BM features a unique Bass Tilt switch mounted on the bottom of the unit. This switch can also be used to subtly boost the low end when recording musical instruments to add a welcome warmth and fullness to the sound.
