Introduction
Thanks for purchasing the Turnstile Audio TASC700 Station Series Multi-
Function Super Cardioid Condenser Microphone.
Designed for cameras and smart devices, the TASC700gives mobile content
creators professional grade sound quality while shooting on-the-go. The
lightweight shotgun microphone mounts directly on your camera or smart device
so you can connect the mic’s audio output or digital out right into your
camera or smart device.
Record how-to tutorials, make video-on-the-go, document live events, or
capture any other creative endeavor with ease. The step less gain control on
the mic lets you dial in your audio levels easy and quickly plus you can
monitor directly from the microphone’s audio output while in digital mode.
The cardioid polar pattern captures what’s directly in front of the camera so
you can just point and shoot. The included cold shoe shock mount prevents the
mic from picking up extraneous handling noise, while the high-quality fuzzy
windsock keeps unwanted background noise at bay. Best of all, the microphone
does not need an additional microphone pre-amplifier: just plug it in and go
create.
