Know before you buy
The TG-V90R uses a hybrid ribbon transducer rather than a traditional moving coil. This gives you the smooth, detailed high-frequency response typically associated with ribbon mics, but with the durability and output characteristics needed for live stage use.
Yes, the cardioid polar pattern is specifically designed to reject off-axis noise and minimize feedback. It is built to handle the high sound pressure levels found in live performance environments while maintaining vocal clarity.
While it works with standard professional microphone preamps, the TG-V90R benefits from a clean, high-gain preamp to fully capture its nuanced tonal character. It does not require phantom power to operate, as it is a passive ribbon design.
It is versatile enough for both, but it truly shines in close-miking scenarios where you want a warm, intimate vocal sound. Its rugged construction makes it a reliable choice for the stage, while its unique ribbon character provides a distinct alternative to standard studio condensers.
The package includes the microphone and a dedicated microphone clamp for mounting on a stand. You will need to provide your own XLR cable and a microphone stand.
