About Turnstile Audio Platform Series TAP500 Hyper-Cardioid Dynamic Broadcast Mic

Tap500

The Broadcast Microphone That Captures a Natural, Clean Sound.

The Turnstile Audio Platform Series TAP500 Broadcast Microphone is optimized for broadcasting, podcasting, and voice recording, giving you a clean and natural sound. The TAP500 is the ideal microphone for podcasting, broadcast, or voice recording. The microphone's hyper-cardioid polar pattern is designed to greatly reduce the amount of background noise on the sides of the mic, plus the sound behind the microphone, so you just pick up what is in front of the TAP500.

Thoughtful Design That Elevates Your Audio.

Turnstile Audio designed the TAP500 with many thoughtful features to give you the cleanest and most natural sound possible. Feel like you’re in the room with the person speaking, as the microphone gives you a more intimate sound. The TAP500’s capsule design removes unwanted noise and isolates your sound, which is especially helpful when you have multiple microphone set-ups or speakers in the same room. We included a mid-range boost switch that helps with low talkers and emphasizes vocal clarity in the frequency 6 kHz to 10 kHz range. The opposite holds true for the low-cut switch, which helps control booming voices and reduces rumble and rustling, allowing you to have more control over tone.Thoughtful Design That Elevates Your Audio

Hyper Versatile.

Other accessories include a shock mount which enhances sonic clarity by isolating the microphone from the mic stand, perfect when you need to reposition the microphone on the fly. A removable windscreen gives you a simple and easy solution to reduce plosive “P” and “B” sounds in speakers and vocals. The TAP500 is also a hyper-cardioid dynamic microphone that does not require the use of external power, such as 48v phantom power. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned pro, the TAP500 is versatile enough for almost any podcast and broadcast recording task.

Hyper Versatile.

Voice & Broadcast Recordings That Sound Clear and Natural.

The TAP500’s hyper-cardioid pickup pattern, low cut filter, and mid-range boost allow you to get a polished sound for vocal and broadcast recordings. With the hyper-cardioid pickup pattern, you can capture your vocal take without picking up background noise from behind the mic. This works perfectly for multi-mic recordings or broadcasts with everyone in a small room so there is very little mic bleed between the person speaking.
