With its straightforward front-panel controls and 16-bit / 48 kHz resolution, the Tascam TM-250U USB Type-C condenser microphone provides quality audio capture while offering easy, driver-free compatibility with Mac/Windows computers and iOS/Android mobile devices (USB Type-C and Lightning cables available separately), a simple solution for podcasters, vocalists, and narrators producing at home. Plus, its supercardioid polar pattern is effective at reducing ambience and background noise at the sides of the mic.
