    Great value for money

    The T.bone SC450Published on 08/11/13 at 03:04
    I use it to record vocals and a guitar. It can do wonders with its filter.
    The performance is impressive for a Chinese mic with such a price tag.

    I strongly recommend it.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had it since 2006 and I would buy it again.

    Transport case and shock mount suspension included. It's a great mic.

    Can be used for live or studio, I prefer studio.

    The T Bone SC 450 is a large diaphragm studio microphone that should not be used in a live setting.
    It does however require phantom power, and the price is very reasonable and respectable. The overall, specs of the T bone SC 450 didn’t particularly strike me as the studio microphone that I need to have. But after purchasing two of these over the years, I can say it is one of the best microphones that are under 150 US Dollars that I have used. The time that was used with the T Bone SC 450 was over the period of about 4 months.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The T Bone SC 450 has great quality for a microphone that is less than 150 dollars, it excels great in a studio setting with acoustics and proper set up. I have tried 2 other T Bone models, and this is the better one for the money. You will get a shock mount and a case when you purchase the T bone SC 450, which is a good thing because the shock mount is much needed. The frequency response is o.1m - 10dB (20-18000 Hz). The T Bone SC 450 is a great vocal microphone for someone with an even Tone, not to deep of a pitch nor too high. One thing about this microphone that also makes it better than the previous version of the T Bone is that this is a flexible microphone and can be used on instruments as well. But in my opinion it wont sound as good using it as an instrument microphone. They actually also say it’s a live microphone but I have to disagree with T Bone on that, this microphone did not sound well when we tested it in a live setting. Maybe it all depends on what type of a sound the user is looking for. We will keep the T Bone SC 450 in the studio, with acoustic treatments.

    Very good first choice

    The T.bone SC450Published on 07/16/12 at 16:12
    Cardioid vocal mic that works with 48V phantom power.
    It comes with a nice-looking case, inside which is the mic itself and the suspension, as well as spare rubber bands.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've used it for 5 years in my home studio for vocals and some guitar takes.
    It is my first real mic, so I don't have any reference to compare it to.
    Before the SC450, I had a Sennheiser MD 43 and I must say it's like night and day...
    Vocals are picked up fine and the reproduction is dynamic, with no or almost no coloration. I think it's pretty versatile for use with different types of vocals and musical styles.

    Not only would I buy it again, I also recommend it to anyone who wants a good mic to start his or her home studio with the right foot.

    Condenser

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have one.
    I've had other down-market mics, like the se2000 (which I sold), and an AT 2020.
    The T bone is the best of all.
    I used it for demos quite some time, but now I have a neumann KMS 105 for live performances and it's better, even for demos. It's more neutral, but more expensive, too.
    I still use the T bone for tenor sax (with 2 mics) .
    In short, it's quite all right and well-equipped.
    Ideal for beginners.

    OK, but nothing more

    The T.bone SC450Published on 04/23/12 at 00:07
    Dynamic mic from Thomann. I use it to record folk guitar and vocals.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using it sporadically for a little over a year.

    I have several mid-range mics but no high-end.

    This mic does the job for home studio but it needs EQ corrections to add some brilliance to it.

    Good value for money.

    Vocal Mic. Condenser microphone transistor large-diaphragm

    Polar pattern: Cardioid
    Presence of a low-cut switch and-10dB pad.

    Body and gate are metal and seem robust.
    It comes with a suspension and a carrying case.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a couple of years.
    I had bought used.

    This is my first condenser vocal microphone.
    I especially appreciate its great value for money. He seems sensitive and accurate as it should. But I have no points of comparison.

    With experience, maybe I'll turn to mics more upscale, see Neumann Rode. But I first wanted to try my hand at not too much to the recording of my voice.
    I will not hesitate to buy other micro range T.Bone.

    Thomann mic offers an ambitious small price. For € 100, you receive a small suitcase containing the suspension and the microphone, which of us, is enough class (that's to the fart among friends lol).
    The microphone seems surprisingly heavy in the hand, giving a good first impression. the suspension is solid and holds the microphone very firmly.
    However, I mattendais a micro larger than this one (though it is as big as the behringer B1, I know not why I wanted bigger lol).

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use the Tbone for 2 months, I also have a Behringer B1 (I am the loan). So rather than give an opinion on the SC 450 alone, I'm going to a small area comparison of the two microphones. (Jai used a Presonus preamp BLUETUBE on a Delta 44)

    For prices so low, I have a mattendais background noise, sound loss, etc ... However the two candidates offer very good perf on that side.

    The only Tbone "noise" not, and I give her a good point for ca. It gives very useful. The center frequencies seem to flow a bit, but high frequencies are clear, the bass is almost perfect: they seem to flow in very low (from the last octave of the piano, it will be so severe that for super-tenors. .. lol)

    The B1 also provides very useful results. However, the falsification of the sound is more pronounced. If the high present themselves very well, the bass is less transparent than in the SC450 and medians leave a little to be desired. The two microphones in the B1 signal dentrée the lowest ...

    The Tbone offer the best perf my taste, of course compared to a Neumann U87, there is no comparison.

    Jai dug examples sound pretty interesting on the net:
    Phrase, spoken, whispered and sung, was recorded with a microphone or other, then immediately sent a DAT recorder connected a Panasonic SRV2700 Genelec speakers. The microphones were recorded live sounds from the speakers.
    There are 4 files, that of departure, one recorded with a Neumann U87, with a B1, and the SC 450. Here are examples:

    His departure (https://www.amazona.de/content/musictools/hardware/boxenmikros/t-bone_verschiedene/BASIC.mp3)
    Neumann U87 (https://www.amazona.de/content/musictools/hardware/boxenmikros/t-bone_verschiedene/U87.mp3)
    Behringer B1 (https://www.amazona.de/content/musictools/hardware/boxenmikros/t-bone_verschiedene/B1.mp3)
    T. Bone SC450 (https://www.amazona.de/content/musictools/hardware/boxenmikros/t-bone_verschiedene/SC450.mp3)

    Ben ... is a micro all there is more stupid! capsule 1 ", low-cut,-10dB pad included (but I do not trust them so I use the preamp)

    discrete lump in the upper midrange

    absolutely no wind, it blew me away

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used for three months:
    - Excellent for saxophone + + + I'm on the ass of the quality of decision
    - I like her less for voice (because of the bump top mediums I think), I think I'll take an Oktava MK319
    - Also excellent for acoustic guitar ... it is highly directional, investments are easy

    It's not a neumann course, but it is 100 euros! and for that price it's amazing the sound that comes out!

    I use this mic for making drums, guitar and vocals.

    Example here to the battery => http://screamo.free.fr/Mix/prise_Tbonesc450.mp3

    OVERALL OPINION

    I possess for one month now, this is my first microphone of this type, it therefore has a -10 db pad and a low cut of a 100 hz.

    The value is at the top. For the home studio I prefer a dynamic type SM 58.

    With experience and being less broke, I would certainly be a model a lamp in the series T bone.

    The sound became much more smooth and flowing balance. So, given the gain in quality, I r-recorded all the voices of the album!

    At the time of mixing, the voices are much better and INSRE sound much more "pro" without giving the impression of having registered with a micro t 100!

    Unable to compare the SC450 with other capacitor microphones (outside the B2 pro), I can not compare it with a Rode or otherwise. But I can attest that this microphone is largely the road and he is fully capable of providing quality sound "pro" for a price dfiant any competition. Although sr with Neumann win there again, but for the price of the SC450, you'll just suspend a U87 and TLM103 ...

    I bought this microphone on the advice of other members Audiofanzine in full trust and I do not regret at all. You can also do so trust my advice and go for head down.
