Professional XLR Condenser Microphone Kit

The Thinkstar TC20 is a cardioid condenser microphone built for studio recording, podcasting, voice-over work and streaming. It requires an external 48V phantom power source such as an audio interface, mixer or preamp to operate. The kit includes a T20 steel boom arm with a desk clamp, a shock mount and a pop filter for a complete setup.

Ideal for Single-Source Vocal Capture

This package suits creators who record one voice or instrument at a time in a controlled space and already own a 48V-capable interface. Buyers who need a USB microphone that works without extra hardware should look elsewhere. The kit also does not support multi-microphone recording from a single device.

Requires 48V Phantom Power to Function

The condenser capsule cannot produce a signal without a 48V phantom power supply provided by an interface, mixer or preamp. The T20 boom arm clamps to desks up to 2.4 inches thick and supports microphones up to 1.8 kg. First listed by the manufacturer in 2022.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the TC20 is receiving the required 48V phantom power after connecting it to my audio interface?

The TC20 requires 48V phantom power from an audio interface, mixer, or preamp to operate. When the interface’s phantom power is engaged, the microphone’s internal FET preamplifier activates and the unit will capture audio; no separate indicator light is mentioned in the specifications.

Which accessories are included with the TC20 kit and what must I purchase separately to start recording?

The kit includes the TC20 XLR condenser microphone, a T20 steel boom arm with desk clamp, a shock mount, and a pop filter. You must supply your own XLR cable and a device that provides 48V phantom power such as an audio interface, mixer, or preamp.

What desk thickness does the T20 boom arm’s clamp support and what is the maximum microphone weight it can hold?

The T20 boom arm’s desk clamp fits surfaces up to 2.4 inches (60 mm) thick and is rated for microphones weighing up to 1.8 kg (4 lbs).
