Tascam TM-70 Dynamic Microphone Review / Test (ft. Rode PodMic, Zoom ZDM-1, Shure SM58, SE V7)

Today, I have the Tascam TM-70 dynamic mic in the Audio Hotline Studio! My good friend Bark from the awesome YouTube Channel 'Obscure Mics' reviewed this microphone and since he is a generous and just overall amazing guy, he sent this mic over to me so I could test it out. I don't want to ruin the review he did, but to say the least he wasn't a very big fan of this mic. So naturally, he wanted to see my take on it. So here it is! My review of the Tascam TM-70 Supercardioid Dynamic Mic!

If you want to check out Obscure Mic's Review of the Tascam TM-70, here is the Link:

Be sure to check out the testing and audio samples and see if this is right for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it is right for you!

Disclaimer:
I know that all the mics in the comparison were not all Supercardioid or Cardioid. It wasn't meant to be a comparison of which polar pattern is better, or anything like that. The comparison is meant to represent what you can get for around the same price point.

Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!
