TASCAM TM-200SG is a compact shotgun microphone with a length of 153mm, super-cardioid polar pattern, and built-in low-cut filter. The microphone does not have any battery – it accepts 48V phantom power via XLR connector. Available for $149. TASCAM has been supplying filmmakers with audio recorders and other audio devices for decades. For example, last year in January, the company launched a new DR-X series of audio recorders. The most recent TASCAM announcement includes a new compact shotgun microphone called TM-200SG. Let’s take a short look at its features and specs. TASCAM TM-200SG Microphone The TASCAM TM-200SG is a new shotgun microphone with a standard 3-pin XLR connector at the back. Thanks to its compact size – 23 mm (diameter) and 153 mm (length) – it can fit well as an on-camera microphone for mirrorless cameras and DSLRs as well. However, since it needs a decent preamp which supplies 48V Phantom Power, a bigger “cinema camera” might be a better fit here. TM-200SG Microphone.

There is also a built-in low-cut filter (3dB/oct at 160Hz) for eliminating environmental hum and noise in the lower frequencies. The TASCAM TM-200SG does not include any battery. The mic gets its power via the XLR port’s +48 phantom power supply (48V DC). It weighs 53g. TASCAM TM-200SG – Frequency Response and Polar Pattern.
