Review Summary

This mic sounds really good and is built well. I bought this as a platform for a replacement capsule (arienne audio flat k47), and it works nicely for that. The capsule was really easy to drop in. I also did one in the tac1100 and that was more difficult to do, but they both sound great with that capsule. I bought 2 of each model and so I have one stock and one modded of each. With the replacement capsule it is significantly more to my liking (very flat upper mids, and on the 1100, even pulled back a hair because of the circuit- which I like very much!). In stock form though, these still sound excellent and are built very solidly. These are a very good buy and I can recommend both turnstile multi pattern models to anyone looking for a good, solid condenser.

Just finished an extensive shootout with the TAC700 and TAC1100 mics, and I am impressed!! They were up against a C414B-ULS, TLM107, TLM102, U47fet Clone, SM57, MXL144 and MXL4000 (all in cardioid). I was hopeful that the TAC700 would hold it's own, and, sure enough, it did. I found that it performed right in the middle of the pack- quiet, smooth and un-hyped. Some of the mics sounded brighter or more "modern," yet this one was not dark, veiled, or beefy like a saturating transformer mic. There is definitely a rounded, almost compressed sound, while it is accurate and flat. Reminds me a little of an old TLM193 where it would take EQ very well and capture acoustic sources well, but some people might say this is boring (in a good way). Handles sibilance well, and doesn't have the harsh top end of many mics. The compact size of these is amazing, and the stereo pair I bought are going to live in my car to be ready for on-the-fly recording opportunities (like visiting a church piano performance). Incredible bang-for-buck at the price. -Cheers

The Turnstile Audio Concourse Series TAC700 Condenser Microphone offers you a remarkably smooth and clean sound, with multiple options to give you flexibility for any recording scenario. Perfect for broadcast, vocal recording, instrument recording, and any other audio your creativity can conceive, this workhorse microphone is up for the task. This is the ideal microphone for making your podcast, social media content, video content, live streaming, and sound all come to life.
The TAC700’s clean and smooth sound rivals that of more expensive microphones. The mic gets that smooth sound by having extremely low self-noise, so you never hear unwanted noise added to the audio. With this transparent audio profile, your voice or instrument will sound exactly like you hear them when recording. Mixes, recordings, and live broadcasts translate to any playback device. Plus, the microphone comes with a soft case for secure transport when you’re out in the field or on the move. Whether you are a student, audio enthusiast, budding podcaster, or studio professional, you can create a better sound the moment you plug in.
The TAC700 can handle the entire spectrum of sound. The high end has a gradual roll-off effect that rounds out the mic’s smooth tonal character. The mid-range clarity makes your voice or instrument sound like you are standing in the room. The low-end is even --with no bumps or spikes-- so you can accurately capture your audio source. For tone control, the 10dB pad helps prevent the microphone from overloading loud sound sources such as drums, screaming vocals, or loud amps. and the low-cut switch can help reduce excessive rumble from audio sources. Sound like a professional from your very first recording and make your sound come to life.
Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned pro, the TAC700 will be your “take anywhere” microphone as it is up to any recording task. The microphone’s smooth character evens out the mid-range, so multi-miked instrument recordings are cohesive. Plus, the low-end warmth will round out any harshness. The result is a clean, transparent, smooth sound.
The TAC700’s cardioid pickup setting allows you to get a polished sound for vocal and broadcast recordings. Simply use the cardioid pick-up setting and position the microphone in front of the singer or broadcaster. Capture their vocal take without picking up background noise from behind the mic. This works for both overdubbing a single track or recording everyone at once using a live tracking recording technique.
