We have been considering purchasing a Tascam TM-2x DSLR microphone for our K-5. Has anyone used this product?
Product: TM-2X | TASCAM.
The specifications for the product state that it can use most DSLR's with an audio jacks on-board power to run the microphone. Tascams specification for power requirements are Plug-in power (JEITA standard CP-1203A).
Knowing that the K-5 spec's are 2.0V supplied to the audio jack. I am perplexed as to if this TM-2X will function on the K-5. After an extensive search on just exactly what the(JEITA standard CP-1203A) is and if Pentax/Hoya maintains this standard is a mystery. Pentax /Hoya or Tascam's Tech support have not been very helpful and are very "cryptic" about information in regards.
Thanks in advance,
