TM300 Features

ENGLISH

•Phantom power switch enables you to use the TM300 with high-quality condenser microphones. When turned on, 48 volts of phantom power is provided to the mic connectors of all channels.

•Two Aux sends per channel (one pre-fader and the other post-fader) allow you to route multiple signals to the internal DSP or to external signal processors.

•Dual stereo aux returns— with dedicated front-panel level controls— give you the ability to blend in the return signal from the internal DSP and/or external signal processors or other line-level devices without having to utilize input channels.

•Extensive equalization includes independent 3-band eq for each channel, with 15 dB of cut or boost for low (100 Hz) and high (10 kHz) frequencies, and 12 dB of cut or boost for the mid (1.8 kHz) frequency. In addition, a dual seven-band graphic master equalizer allows you to “tune” the output of the TM300 to the particular room environment you are in— particularly useful for eliminating ringing or feedback problems. This graphic equalizer can be used in stereo or can be “split” so that one side affects the main PA and the other side affects stage monitors.

•Constant level Pan controls for each channel that allow you to precisely place each input signal in the left-right plane.

•Center detents for all Pan and EQ controls, making it easy to use the TM300 even in low-light live performance situations.

•Continuously adjustable wide-range input Trim controls for each channel allow you to precisely set the correct input and output gain structure.

•Independent 65 mm faders for each channel and for the stereo bus.

•Pre Fader Listen (PFL) soloing for each channel, allowing headphone monitoring of individual channels, pre-fader (but post-EQ) without affecting the signal being output either by the speaker or various line-level outputs.

•Front panel metering system includes a ten-segment level meter and allows you to view at a glance the continuous levels of the main stereo output and/or Aux sends.

•Peak LEDs for each channel show you at a glance when an input signal is on the verge of overloading.

•Dedicated status LEDs show main power and phantom power on/off.

•Separate Record out jacks (with dedicated level control) allow you to directly connect the TM300 to any tape recorder. In addition, a handy Mono output jack provides a line-level signal for connection to external monitor power amplifiers.

•An independent front-panel headphone output with dedicated volume control for private monitoring of the main stereo output, Aux sends, or soloed channels.

•Main inserts and four channel inserts allow you to use outboard signal processors such as equalizers, compressor/ limiters, or noise gates in a standard “effect loop.”

•Last but certainly not least, affordability. The TM300 has been designed from the ground up to provide versatility and excellent sound quality at a cost-conscious price.

TM300 specifications

The Samson TM300 is a highly regarded professional microphone designed for studio and live performance applications. Renowned for its distinctive sound quality and durability, the TM300 caters to musicians, vocalists, and audio engineers alike.

At the core of the TM300's design is its dynamic microphone element, which excels in capturing the nuances of vocal performances. This type of microphone inherently rejects unwanted noise and feedback, making it an excellent choice for both live settings and studio recordings. The TM300's frequency response, typically spanning from 50Hz to 15kHz, showcases its ability to reproduce deep lows and crisp highs, ensuring that every vocal nuance is accurately captured.

One of the standout features of the TM300 is its cardioid polar pattern. This directional pickup pattern allows the microphone to focus on sound sources directly in front of it while minimizing background noise from the sides and rear. This characteristic is crucial in live settings, where minimizing ambient noise can greatly enhance the clarity of the performance.

The TM300 is built with high-quality materials, featuring a rugged metal housing that can withstand the rigors of frequent use. Its sturdy construction ensures longevity, even in demanding environments. Furthermore, the microphone includes a built-in pop filter that helps reduce plosive sounds (such as "p" and "b" consonants), providing cleaner audio capture without the need for additional accessories.

In terms of connectivity, the Samson TM300 typically utilizes a standard XLR output, making it compatible with a wide range of mixing consoles, audio interfaces, and recording devices. This versatility allows it to be seamlessly integrated into both professional and home studio setups.

For audio professionals seeking an affordable yet high-performance microphone, the Samson TM300 offers exceptional sound quality, rugged build, and user-friendly features. Whether used for live performances, studio recordings, or broadcast applications, the TM300 continues to impress with its reliable performance, making it a favorite choice among musicians and audio engineers alike. As the demand for quality audio equipment rises, the TM300 remains a testament to Samson's commitment to excellence in the audio industry.
