    Directivity Supercardioid
    Bandwidth: 50 to 16,000 Hz
    Without on / off switch

    OVERALL OPINION

    Used for almost 2 years, this mic is solid.
    The sound quality is at the appointment: "timbre, attack, shine .."

    Very good alternative to Sh .., when the budget is lower and most importantly, very usable on stage.
    This mic is a good choice given its value for money.

    OVERALL OPINION

    AWESOME! quality similar to Shure manufacture, heavy and robust microphone. nothing to say about the sound is exemplary. Go a lil criticism, I think it is more sensitive to feedback, but at this price had to a small weak point.

    Singing.
    See above for characteristics

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use the microwave for 5 or 6 years. I've done blind tests with several musicians, or they are unable to differentiate the shure beta 85 is the first place they beta 85. I had to buy at least 5 and I will continue ... on the other hand I was pretty disappointed with the copy of the 57 that I have returned.

    Dynamic microphone shure sm 58 type but shhhhuuut!

    OVERALL OPINION

    The sound recording is widely copied at the micro is the sm58. One really wonders if it's worth putting more money into a shure. But hey there are people who prefer brands that will not discuss ...

    Micro song.

    Presented as a clone of a great brand.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have several references microphone singing.

    I bought an AKG D660 because I had this on a wireless capsule and the sound is decent for the price, it was also around 40 €.

    I have SM58 Shure Beta58.

    The MB85 beta is presented as a clone of the Beta 58.

    Indeed the transition from one to the other, we say wow this is really not bad. Yes the bass is not too far forward, the overall tone of voice is not bad, nice. It does not attack in the medium as an SM58 can do evil equalized.

    Listening a bit more, everything is part of the acute spectrum is not true at all, and found very unpleasantly forward, but…

    Listening a bit more, everything is part of the acute spectrum is not true at all, and found very unpleasantly forward, but no finesse, like the voice scratching on vinyl, while a beta 58 is sweet and faithful throughout the spectrum.

    You tell me I compare a microphone € 40 with a € 160 micro.

    Comparison with Prodipe TT1 famous that I use on weddings. The prodipe has more attack, treble end is very nice. Nothing to see! I always say that prodipe sounds "fair" to put his voice to the animation before it is really micro top, thomann too no longer wanted to return to service for this purpose. First and last time for animation microphone.

    It will stay in my spare suitcase.

    I will continue with my TT1 for small benefits, and for shure scenes.

    Manufacturing side, bought the bundle with the foot and cable, and one evening after some manipulations, I managed to already damaging the paint MB85 while TT1 touch plastic finish with aging very well after 2-3 seasons . The metal grid is not as robust as the Shure ...

    I'm a little disappointed with this microphone, in short it was worth the money ...

    Pattern: Supercardioid
    Bandwidth: 50 to 16,000 Hz

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for almost 2 years. it is a micro super sturdy. you can clean the grille and windscreen which are removable. its level, nice attack, brightness and good reproduction of the stamp. I can not do without it-so much so that in concert, I needed to deal with traditional sm58 and I wonder if I do not prefer his "big" brother beta 58 (but this may be due to my habits).

    value for money against its direct competitor "shure": 10 t-bones, a shure

    Dynamic micro-oriented song, but can do the rest :)

    Other opinions have previously discussed the characteristics. It looks pretty solid.

    OVERALL OPINION

    From my point of view, ie catches and occasional voice of a little ukulele-making, he made his job very well. For an amateur job like mine is more than enough. The value for money is quite exceptional.

    I will definitely complete my assortment of microphones with other Tbone.

    micro dynamics of a very good value for money.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This mic is very clear and it is very close to a condenser microphone because of the extent of what he can capture a dynamic that is stunning. Of course as others have said here it is largely as good as the Shure SM 58 and is better than the 57 sm. Really a success.

    Mixed Micro immitation SM 58 comes in a padded plastic case and with his support.
    Electret microphone, XLR connection.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a year, mainly for the song (Death). What I like most with this microphone is the price and strong. The grip is good trs, weight IDAL and finish beyond reproach. I compare a 58 sm, it is a little less soundproofing shocks, and the sound is a bit cooler, but the diffrence in price, this microphone is a marvel. I do it again the same choice again.

    Cheap Chinese copy of a beta 58, good construction trs, trs solid.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I ordered from Thoto, because one of my Behringer XM8500 (yes!) Curtain fell.
    I use it for RPET can prs four months.
    Honntement in RPET I do not mean the diffrence with an SM58 (I have no BETA58!).
    So for those who can not afford a Shure is in my opinion the best in micro This category, much better than the XM8500.
    Obviously if you push the live test, means the diffrence, still must have a coronation ear ... and I would say 80% of the singers (and singing) trs EST widely exploitable .

    Cardioid dynamic microphone for voice, guitar, drums
    rponse in frquence: 50Hz 16kHz
    without switch

    OVERALL OPINION

    As Quetzalcotl, bought a kit at Thomann Micro + Cable + Stand all for 69 (59 + 10 for shipping);
    this mic is great quality trs, really perfect for the use I made and I think that putting even more in a dynamic microphone is not used much.
    Superb qualitprix report.

    Dynamic hypercardioid vocal microphone

    OVERALL OPINION

    Compared to an SM58, it is much clearer in the treble, and less blur in low. With this microphone you start to understand the lyrics!
    I tried 3 copies and everyone made me feel the same.
    For 39 euros in Thomann.de I do not hesitate one second over a SM58.

    Because of its brightness and its open side, it is perfect for my tenor voice as a musician and will suit many other singers that I am and will have to take care as a technician.
    The voice appears more naturally with this mic, so we understand better what is sung as outlined Martinc.

    In short, for 39 EURO! You have a very high quality microphone, better than SM58 and not having to blush before a BETA 58, which will fill many artists and technicians live and can be of service, or troubleshoot a home-studio.
    In any case, it is a great investment whether for a first purchase or a complete fleet of micros.Je remake that choice without hesitation, ordered from Thomann and received at Lille in just three days.
    What is the bomb, not much to send and a lot of satisfaction in return.

    - I use it in rehearsal and configuration caf conc'pour our rock band (for over 1 year)

    - We also have a Shure SM58 and a Shure PG55: frankly, there's no picture on the value price => take the T Bone MB85! to the € 59 THE T. BONE MB 85 BETA SET knew Thommann (ie + micro + foot XLR cable), it is still cheaper than a PG55 alone, and rendering has nothing to do! Let go of you!

    - I would do without hesitation that choice (even if my fellow Zique me initially just looked with big eyes, who saw them by SHURE). However, now we need for planting microphones and amplifiers ...... I can not wait to test the MB75 (copy SHURE SM57) to see if the price / quality ratio is maddening!
