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
