It also comes with a screw-on stand if you want to use the mic with a boom arm. The included flip-out stand is solid and puts the mic in a nice position for desktop use. The right side has power, play/pause, stop, record/pause, volume up/down for playback, and a 3.5mm jack which can be used with a lavalier microphone or with headphones for playback. The left-hand side has buttons for adjusting microphone gain, skipping forwards/back between recordings, a mute, and buttons to control the noise cancellation and changing the mic capsule that’s being used between Omni and cardioid. The longer sides hold all of the controls, which are all behind membrane-style buttons. It’s also got a USB-C port on the back case, which lets you use the mic with other devices as a USB mic. When used in standalone recorder mode, you get 14 hours of battery life (or roughly 10 hours with ANC on), with 8GB of storage to keep all of those recordings, in WAV format. The Tula has both Omni-directional and cardioid capsules inside, which makes it useful for solo recording or for recording interviews for podcasts or other use. You can get it in black, red, or the classy cream color that we’re reviewing. This diminutive device is about the size of a pack of playing cards and kinda reminds me of an early tricorder from Star Trek, or one of those old-style electric shavers. Is this retro-futuristic mobile recorder up to modern requirements? So, what’s it all about? Image: Joe Rice-Jones / KnowTechie
We’ll go through the specs, how it sounds, and more. The Tula Microphone raised over $400k on Indiegogo at the end of last year, and we’ve got a production model to put through its paces. It’s a standalone audio recorder with a decidedly retro feel, that also doubles as a USB-C microphone.
We’re looking at one today, the Tula Microphone, from Tula Mics.
It seems there’s no end to new startups putting their debut devices on crowdfunding sites.
