Takstar TC-390 cardioid back-electret microphone with 50Hz–18kHz response, -45dB sensitivity, 1.5V power, and a 1.2m lightweight cable.

The **Takstar TC-390** is a compact back-electret cardioid microphone engineered for reliable, everyday voice capture — ideal for presentations, interviews, and on-camera use. Its wide **50Hz–18kHz frequency response** ensures natural, full-spectrum audio reproduction whether you are in a studio or out in the field.

Powered by a single **1.5V battery** and built with a **680Ω output impedance**, the TC-390 interfaces cleanly with cameras, recorders, and mixers, while its included **1.2m lightweight cable** keeps your rig tidy and tangle-free.

### Key features

- **Cardioid polar pattern** focuses on your subject and rejects unwanted off-axis noise for cleaner, more professional recordings.

- **Back-electret transducer** delivers consistent sensitivity of -45dB ± 3dB, faithfully capturing voice and speech with low self-noise.

- **Broad 50Hz–18kHz frequency response** reproduces everything from warm low-end tones to crisp high-frequency detail.

- **Simple 1.5V battery power** means no phantom power required — just load a standard battery and start recording instantly.

- **Low 680Ω output impedance** ensures a stable, noise-resistant signal over the full 1.2m cable run to your device.

- **Slim Ø1.7mm, 1.2m cable** keeps your setup lightweight and unobtrusive — perfect for clip-on and on-camera mounting scenarios.

### Frequently asked questions

**Does the Takstar TC-390 require phantom power?**
No. The TC-390 is powered by a standard 1.5V battery (maximum working voltage 10V), so it works with cameras and recorders that do not supply phantom power.

**What polar pattern does the TC-390 use, and why does it matter?**
It uses a cardioid polar pattern, which picks up sound primarily from the front while rejecting noise from the sides and rear — making it ideal for interviews, vlogs, and presentations where background noise is a concern.

**What is the frequency range of the Takstar TC-390 and is it suitable for voice recording?**
The TC-390 covers 50Hz to 18kHz, which spans the full range of human speech and beyond, making it well-suited for voice recording, on-camera dialogue, and broadcast-style interviews.
