by the Record Out level control (see #8 on the

next page). See the “Connecting the TM300”

section on page 10 in this manual for more

information.

4: Main Inserts (L, R) - Use these to insert an

external effects processor (such as outboard

equalizer, compressor/limiter or noise gate)

across the TM300’s main stereo output in an

“effects loop” configuration. This enables you to

process the entire mix simultaneously at unity

gain. The “Post EQ” pair of Main Inserts is

affected by both the seven-band graphic master

equalizer and stereo faders, while the “Pre EQ”

pair is not. These jacks accept 1/4" TRS plugs,

with the ring carrying the send signal and the tip

carrying the return signal. Normally, this will be

connected to a Y-cord; see the “Connecting The

TM300” section on page 10 in this manual for

more information and a wiring diagram. The Main

Inserts can also be used to link multiple TM300s

or to bring the output from another mixer into the

TM300 without taking up channel line inputs.

See the “Using Inserts” section on page 21 in

this manual for more information.

5:Mono Out - This unbalanced 1/4" jack pro- vides a monophonic line-level output, unaffected by the Stereo faders (see #22 on page 8). It can be used to connect the TM300 to an external monitor mixer/amplifier/speaker system so that performers can receive an onstage monitor mix. See the “Connecting the TM300” section on page 10 in this manual for more information.

6:Aux Sends (1, 2) - These unbalanced 1/4" jacks allow you to route signal from either of the TM300’s two discrete Aux Sends to external devices such as effects processors. Aux send1 is pre-fader, while Aux Send 2 is post-fader. See the “Using Aux Sends and Returns” section on page 20 in this manual for more information.

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.
