 TM-ST1 Mic Initial review -- looks better than it soundsSep 26, 2008
By John M. Cinalli
I just bought the Tascam TM-ST1 for use with my Edirol R-09 generally for recording live rock/alt rock performances (with permission, of course!). While I have not yet used it to record any live performances, I did manage to run some (unscientific) tests using my Stereo's CD player as music source with this external Tascam microphone and I also recorded the exact track with the Edirol using a powered Aiwa CM-30 electret condensor mic and the Edirol R-09 built in stereo mics for comparison.
I recorded the same CD song with each of the three mics and I also recorded with the Tascam mic using both the 90 degree and 120 degree cardiod settings. I've concluded that the Tascam did not produce a very warm sound, sounded "tinny" and seemed to be lacking in it's ability to reproduce a good, deep, bass response. In general I prefered the built in Eridol mics over this which to me defeated the purpose of buying the Tascam mic in the first place. The Edirol R-09 built in mics produced a nicer bass response in the recordings (perhaps a bit too much bass but at least I can adjust the levels when transfering or listening). In general, the TASCAM TM-ST1 120 degree degree mic recording sounded better and much fuller than the 90 degree setting -- however this may not work for me as I prefer a minimal amount of crowd noise from crowds off to the side and behind me(I probably need to consider purchasing a 6-8 foot mic stand). Based on this initial test, I'm afraid that this mic probably will not live up to my expectatons at the going price of $65-$70 and may be better suited for recording discussions.
The mic is attractive and the mic base and lower casing is made of a good, heavy grade of metal -- after you remove the casing to put in your battery you notice that there's not much to this mic. Hopefully I will have an opportunity to test this mic in the setting originally intended and report back with an update.

 Good Stereo MicJan 12, 2009
By David C. Reiff

Tascam TM-ST1 Stereo Microphone This mic does a good job in recording Stereo on my PC & Canon FS-10 camcorder. I am impressed by the left/right seperation & center channel. No problem with noise from camcorder issuse as I HAVE heard from another reviewer. You have to play with it a while & then you will get great results with it.With the Ashampoo Music 3 I get great sounds from such a low cost stereo mic.

 The Tascam TM ST1: Perfect in Every WayMar 06, 2010
By D. DeBruler
"writer4life"
Great microphone. I bought it to capture radio-quality audio in the field with my DR-07. In a pinch, I've even recorded commercial voice-overs at home and transferred the files quickly and easily with no one knowing the difference between using this mic or the $300+ EV's we use at the studio.
Good use of my money. It'll do the job for you, too.
