    See further notice, I want to give my opinion on the quality of these microphones

    OVERALL OPINION

    I'll go a bit against al everyone here.
    I just tested a SC1100 (which was happy until the day) against an old Senneheiser MD409U3 (300 euros on ebay germany second hand of course). The 409 is rather known as a great mic to a best-selling firm marshall or fender. I've tested with the good folk, through a preamp SCA N72 (excellent by the way) and I did the same with a SC1100. Well I sell my T Bone as soon as possible.
    The tboe is correct because it is inexpensive, but even in the small qd quality audio.

    The tboe is correct because it is inexpensive, but even in the small qd quality audio.
    I was testing a few weeks my new SCA preamps (one killing I repeat http://www.seventhcirclestudios.com/SCA/SCA.htm).
    With Tbone, I found little improvement between the sound received with the preamps of my firesolo MAUDIO and those of SCA. I thought is weird c ... And then I thought, c is the "mediocrity" of the microphone that is prevented from hearing the difference. And bingo! With a real good the difference between the microphone preamps is obvious.
    Conclusion to my experimentations: Tbone is ok if you are new to the audio but after a time of need to move on.
    In passing the preamps of the Fireface 800 are very average, good for ADDA convertissuers contre.Mais I'm out on the ...
    I put a 5 for value for money. If you put across is more than 9 scale value.

    - What kind of microphone? (Song, sound, mixed ..)

    I use it for a feminist voice and a voice man, transplanted more acoustic instruments (mostly guitars).

    - What technology? (Electret, condenser ...)

    Condenser

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long have you use it?

    In recent days, resulting in a flat on my mind that I deserve the updater comes in a few weeks.

    - What is so special that you like most and least?

    Aspect: it is solid, well made ... we do not feel like the Camelott in his hands. Moreover, attention to weight large enough to grant him a walk worthy of the name;)

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?

    Ooh there ... is an understatement ... Apex Studio Projetcs etc ... I stepped up testing for weeks in a more or less good (in mag) ... parraisaient all very correct ... but I followed my instint and knowing that the SC1100 is really a SE Z3300 débadgé worth 2.5 times the price ... I followed my intuition.

    - How would you rate the quality / price?

    For me, he is unbeatable because it has all the necessary options to make it versatile, including directional!

    In addition, it is easy to implement investments, and tolerates approximate (attention anyway).

    It has a headroom enough to satisfy me of my good preamp on my 828 MKII.

    During the first taken, I was absolutely delighted with the results!

    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...

    Yes, it's typically the kind of microphone that will please a connoisseur in his home studio, which means the stuff of great quality at an unbeatable value for money;)

    I do it again this election ... Moreover, I love buying and feel immediate avoid disappointment and for purchasing equipment that exactly meets my specifications;)

    So I do not say that the experienced technician did not find a few flaws ... but the amateur who wants to equip itself in a very correct and that is that his ears are merely ... is the happiness bar at that price;) (do not be swayed by marketing;))

    Update 15/01/2008: Well I come back as promised with a little more perspective on this microphone. Its design is nickel. I confirm that weight requires a walk worthy of the name.

    I told a deputy anti-pop that is useful in view of the sensitivity of the microphone. It has a large enough gain ... and anti-pop makes a natural frame for the singer.

    The directional characteristics are useful. One regret, however, it lacks a bypass when you want to change the directivity. Let me explain, the condo should not be super great, because every change, I take "click"! This forces any decline, to cut everything to make a change ... not very comfortable when you are looking for the best settings;)

    Chef's tip to avoid these "CALACS" which can damage the preamp abd co, install an AB box acting as "bypass" "on / off";)

    Otherwise, a microphone of this quality at this price ... it does not spit on it. The disgruntled (as usual) will tell you it's nice of the "m. .." blah blah blah ... if you are an amateur, a beginner wanting to equip themselves properly ... if your facility is not "professional" ... please;) I confirm my notes ... for now;)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use the microwave for a few weeks. PSE attention it heavy, get a solid foot (2005 to the Millennium Thomann is not strong enough, I paid the price).

    I like its look, its transparency for vocals (compar SM58 is obviously not a photo). I like the fact that unless I can not find the right sound for my guitar.

    I compared it with a Rode NT1000 microphone (I recorded my own voice for a song in the studio of a friend). The rode is much better, there's no picture, but the state of my finances as it is, I folded the T.bone, which for its price, nevertheless remains substantially correct. To be used primarily for voice.

    Micro transistor. Use for home studio beginner.
    Used in folk guitars, percussion, clarinet, harmonica, acoustic bass.

    I have this mic for over a year. At the very beginning I was really pleased with the results that could offer this microphone. Normally, before I had at my disposal a SM58, then the difference between a static and a dynamic was obvious. When I received it was the revolution in my more modest home studio!

    But then, gradually we become more demanding and it perceives shortcomings of this microphone, bass and low mids are very rough, the highs seem to be extinct. In short, I do not at all the results on my folk guitar (I do not even speak the clarinet). Since I bought an Oktava MK012, bein there's no picture! On the acoustic guitar completely outclasses Oktava Tbone! There's only harmonica I think the Tbone does not too bad.

    Of the songs, you really tamper with the EQ to get a correct result. But in the end it still lacks terribly hot and precision.

    I agree that given the price of one microphone can not ask for the moon. I think this is an excellent compromise for money for those starting out in a home studio so I put him just average. But if you ever have the means, it is better to save a little more ch'tit for something more appropriate (Oktava, Audio Technica, AKG214 ,...), without either having to enter and ruin the top range.

    I do not do it again this election.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since 2006. I recorded 4 mini CD with 4 tracks. It does

    The price / quality ratio is excellent. When I received the package I hallucinated. The kit, suspension, mouth to the microphone, waouuuh, it does. I thought I was in a real studio in my living room <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

    Now his side, you have plenty for the price. Certainly it is far from a Neumann U87, but it is 10 times cheaper ... An excellent microphone for making pre-production at home

    I tested my Shure Beta87 compared static scene. Incomparable. The Tbone is far above.

    Yes I would do this choice.

However, for real and sound recording studio or on stage is not terrible at all but in this price range there, there's nothing better. To know that a good mic for this type is about 1000 € in the mid range and a neumann U87 worth around 3,000 €.
    For the utility it has, I will ever be the same choice. In making its real recording studio, you'd better put a little more expensive. Entry level, however, it is clearly superior to its competitor branded him as Germany and manufactured in China.

    Micro Static Chinese T. BONE (the same as the SE Z3300 A) capacitor 2 membranes.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I received it today, I knew that dynamic microphones (SM58, Beta 85 and T.bone) and I have a Static Neumann KMS 105 (geared more "scene" that home studio, and there ... it's for my home studio).
    I compared this with the KMS 105 microphone Chinese testing them both in an ISA ONE preamp Focurite, well, it's incomparable. The SC1100 is much better, much more air and that's what I was looking for. When I compare it to the KMS 105, I find it almost "deaf"!
    The level seems caught twice as hard for the SC1100, I am much obliged to lower the gain of the preamp. The best results in the ear a…

    The level seems caught twice as hard for the SC1100, I am much obliged to lower the gain of the preamp. The best results in the ear are also in position impedance "Med" ONE of the ISA (which corresponds to 200 Kohm).
    As I begin, there will be details that escape me, but in accuracy and to make my voice ... there is no picture, that's it I needed.
    I'll start with that, then in a while I see if my level of demand pushes me towards something more expensive.
    Attention to the fact that I am not a "pro", my opinion is only worth what my ears hear! But for the price, I find this very serious micro, comes with its efficient support (favor one foot "right"! As specified in a notice below, the microphone is a bit heavy).
    I do not serve as the position Cardio and not the filter for now.
    If I had to redo this choice, I'd do it again without hesitation!

    Condenser microphone for singing, also works well with acoustic guitars and other instruments. Requires 48V phantom power. On the mic, 3 possible directivity: Omni, Cardioid and 8, which is quite handy.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have been using about 8 ½ months, with a M audio fast track. I waited a moment to have a more critical eye on the thing, otherwise I would put "great ouahh the top!" as usually when you make a good buy.

    This mic is really very good. I had never before dared static afraid to invest a little in the record, I sang in very low-end mic karaoke kind of large area, then SM58 and other mics of this type of dynamic. Then I also have also purchased a Sennheiser E835 is a…

    This mic is really very good. I had never before dared static afraid to invest a little in the record, I sang in very low-end mic karaoke kind of large area, then SM58 and other mics of this type of dynamic. Then I also have also purchased a Sennheiser E835 is an excellent microphone. In short, I was dynamic. It was a shock when I plugged in all the gear, I said Wow! Its amazing it looks like a pro. This is the first impression you get if you've never really had a condenser microphone.

    What I like is the sound of the guitar in particular that really stands out well for a microwave of this range. The sound of the voice is true, thereby making recordings nice and can work its tone and another.

    Then of course, if you can afford, nothing beats a little more to invest in a SC2000 perhaps or look in another micro more upscale, but in any case is not to say: the quality / price ratio is at top of top.

    For a first hand is the ideal!

    With experience I will ever be so choice. It is a very good microphone and have first-hand in his park to start is a good thing.
    At my stage, it is a little tired of the sound (at least for me) to the microphone, but it is also the pre-amp and I think that the microphone has not said its last word, and I am very happy at the present time and I know he will serve me much longer my comrade.

    Hoping you have lit.
