Tascam TM-80 Mic Review / Test (Compared to NW700, C1, AT2020, PX-1)

Today I review a budget / affordable XLR condenser microphone, the Tascam TM-80. The microphone comes in between $60-$70, and it has a mid forward sound with a smoother top end. It does a pretty good job with background noise rejection and I’ve heard microphones do a much worse job at plosive and shock rejection. For $60-$70, I think it’s a pretty good deal
