Turnstile Audio Concourse Series TAC1100 Multi-Pattern Cardioid Condenser Microphone, Large Diaphragm for Vocal Recording, Podcasting, and Streaming, XLR Output

The TAC1100 looks even better in person than in pics. It seems well constructed, nice weight in the hand. It sounds great too, punching well above what its price would indicate. And with its features, its a no brainer. Buy two! Definitely recommend.

The TAC1100 is a good bang for your buck condenser microphone. The different polar patterns, -10dB pad and a Low Cut Filter gives you the tools to capture any source. This budget friendly microphone was such a surprise, I purchased an additional one for ORTF and XY stereo recordings. YMMV.

This mic sounds very good. I bought one a while back, now I bought a second one to have a pair for stereo and M/S. It has a smooth top end and warm bass.

Just finished an extensive shootout with the TAC700 and TAC1100 mics, and I am impressed!! <br /><br />I have a descent home studio setup, and these were up against a C414B-ULS, TLM107, TLM102, U47fet Clone, SM57, MXL144 and MXL4000 (all in cardioid). The transformer saturation is very pleasant and musical. The top end is not overly hyped but sounds open, and, in fact, everything sounded very large and clear. This mic is not on the dark or veiled side, but not bright either. I actually found it to be in the range of the TLM102 and the U47Fet clone. The response brings some of the lower mids forward, and handles most sources pleasantly without EQ. <br /><br />I bought a pair of these and the TAC700s with the intent to return one or the other, but now all are going to stay with my recording setup. NOT cheap sounding. Incredible bang-for-buck at the price. <br /><br />-Cheers
