OVERALL OPINION

I use since March 2007. I tested the Rode NT1 is equivalent but the T-Bone came with suspension and carrying case.

Excellent value for money.

Requires 48V phantom power.

OVERALL OPINION

When unpacking, I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful aluminum box and the reassuring weight of the microphone.
It will mention the economic feet (eg Millenium) because they will be unable to maintain the SC1100 without their perch does slumps.
Directional settings are welcome and easy to use as easily accessible. The suspension has the same build quality as the microphone and it's all good.
Alas, I am a little disappointed with the "dark" side of the return of the microphone including recordings of acoustic guitars: farewell shimmering highs and defined my Ovation Custom Legend ... This model finally is very very close to the SC400 while costing twice as much. The solution should be doubled taken with a good dynamic mic. The alliance with the SC140 of the same brand proves excellent, I must say that it is an incredible deal and a must have without even considering its surprisingly low price. In transplanted guitar amp, the SC1100 does not depart from his character a bit dull but it goes much better and, again, it add a good dynamic proves that interesting as essential for the final rendering.
In summary, the SC1100 provides only little compared to most economic models of the brand if it is a choice between three types of directional. The excellent workmanship, this a real carrying case are undeniable advantages, but it is clear that it is very comfortable or for recording acoustic guitars or, to a lesser extent, for transplanting amplifiers. Have not tried the voice, so I will say nothing more.

The T.Bone SC1100 is a large diaphragm microphone with switch able omni, figure eight and cardioid patterns. I have used several similar microphones from this line like the Rode NT 1 and Studio Projects C1. The T.Bone SC 1100 didn’t really stick out to me that much when I was first looking at the specs of it. But after getting the chance to use it, I could hear why everyone else was loving this microphone. The T.Bone SC 1100 never gave me a bad recording at all, it wasn’t the price that I wanted it to be, but I still fished out the money and got my hands on it and still own it to this day. I do not use it as much though. It will work and sound great when using it with vocals or recording that acoustic guitar melody you just wrote!


OVERALL OPINION

I use the T. Bone SC 1100 with my M Audio 8TR interface and record into Pro tools. I am on my Mac Book Pro most of the time I am recording with this microphone. The SC1100 seems to be pretty well built and has held up well over the last few years. If you are looking into purchasing this microphone, I suggest saving up a little more money and going to a little better microphone. Because when you put the money out for the T.Bone SC1100 there is a small price gap between the next level of microphones up. So 100 more dollars could get you a big jump in recording quality if you can just hold off and save up a little more. But there is no doubt that this microphone is great for your home set up and it comes in a great design and well built. It is a win either way you go with this mic!

OVERALL OPINION

Trs of good construction and finish, the SC1100 is in fact the SE Electronics Z-3300 (Chinese micro-Feilo the socity China) https://www.seelectronics.com/homepage/z- r-3300.htm estempill brand Thomann T-Bone.

Given its price, its possibilities (especially SETTING THE polarity!) And its remarkable building (when it was in the hands, we say: waouuu is not plastoc and its weight of ca Cahouet PSE), the SC1100 is a perfect choice for any application for registration, both for voice and for instruments, acoustic or amplified, and I can assure you that he trs good job. It is quite neutral in its return despite lgre bump from 5kHz (Cardio mode).

I therefore advise all home-studio owners who do not want to ruin for a rsultat worthy of the name!

OVERALL OPINION

I took a pair from Thomann (considering the price, the risk was low), and there .... I'm amazed. The sound of the voices in cardioid is hot, with a small lump of presence, well detailed, and super quality, the acoustic guitar is very convincing, both in cardio bidirectionnel.Il that is also in comfortable for overheads, of Charles, or a snare to balais.Par against it does not cash at all pressures (snare, toms, bass drum). Couples stereo environments, the report is very detailed and delivered naturel.La suspension is very effective and is making hulk (one mic low-end bend under its weight !!!). The only small problem, a poor fit of the thread of the suspension on a copy ... Nothing ... This is too serious disadvantages of the made in china ... But what interests us (sound), 200 Euros each, this is the bargain of the century!

A condenser mic

OVERALL OPINION

I used to catch the track and rap ragga.La quality is really good, simple c we really hear the impression of his own way out of hp, a condition of having well-placed microphone!
Indeed the mic n not like the voices too high too prs, so if the singer tends to yell a little too hard it must be recul.G also the impression that he likes n not too too bad voices, or then in any case we must lower the preamp to drive the max.Il seduced my record as a fiddle.
Also note that the first that g reu silent order, so I've returned to the thomann me change it without pb (ama when even cost 15 euros more but considering the price of the mic ...)

OVERALL OPINION

I took a pair I use DPS 7 months for various classic live recording, pianno, oh battery, ac Guitard, violin, cello, bass, vocals .. various types of medium O2R console, Mackie 24:8:2, behringer2442 ... and I was very pleasantly surprised, the mic sounded very good, good presence, good clarity (small bump at about 5 to 7 or 8 khz) very beautiful and very precise deep bass (rare) and acute DEFINED dutout not aggressive.

I was very surprised at the definition of the image in stereo rec couple image is very large and precise, om the dynamics are very well made, very good battery in oh, for he made jazz You just kick and snare an apt and it sounds directly, a treat.

j I compared the mic with:

AKG 300 b-ck to 91,
4050-at
Rhode-NT2
C-AKG 414 uls
AKG C-200 ...

SC1100 is the result at the NT2 and 414 except that it costs less than 2X and 4X rhode UNLESS a home akg 414

conclusion

200 euro a piece of happiness c we obtain results as good as with the references of its kind studio akg, rhode, audio technica ... I urge

good rec

Micro static transistor, see other opinions. It moni, cardio and Figure 8.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a few weeks, and I did all the tests I wanted to do with.
The sound is clean, prcis, dynamic, clear, and e grain is not bad at all! I tried a lot of things before you buy, the MODEL z3300 is in electronics is the same.
APRS APRS several tests and have learned a little more use, this microphone is a bomb. For voice, omni is perfect, the spectrum is IDAL and it is easy to mix, mix as you can without losing presence.
For guitars, engaged in cardio rose trs is good but a little dlicat aplcer. Engaged in omni loignegnrale yes trs bieen cardio is also dynamic and prcis, it loses nothing of its original. In making the above, it is very well even if I had to prfre a small micro cap personally.
The ratio quality price is unspeakable. I test the more expensive mics that sounded both silent but the signal more difficult gnralement mixer and equalizer. The more I touch the eq at all when I make a decision.
In an audio system is a low cost diamond, a marvel, simple to use and perfect for any type of use. Truly a gem!!

Really feel CATEGORY apsser the above with this microphone from what I used before that silent yet to the same price almost. My preamp is transfigured, I eur discovering a presence and a grain that I do not have supper. I know that micro aps Submitted suit me better than a Neumann TLM 103 that I had the opportunity to test, ready for a friend ... But we share in the rev up the microphone range so unaffordable and especially a little silly with the rest of my little low-end stuff.

I would do well Obviously this choice and if I had the means I Rasht taken for live scratching and bass amp and amply keyboard.

I faity the ultimate test any time. I made friends Listen to models made with the microphone and Others Classified done with my other stuff without prvenir of who did what. Blind to your exact t test unanimous. The models voice / folk / electric guitar made with this microphone the sound, sic "as real CD", which I could only take a mix of drawing done before.

Edit:

APRS 2 months of use, a package taken, voice, folk, ambience etc. .... This is not a good micro "value" as usual, which does Not saying anything ... ... It's a good mic at all.

Micro chant static phantom power supply, see other opinions.

OVERALL OPINION

Received Friday from Thomann in Germany (sent one week, sturdy packaging, delivery perfect). Small problem: lack of documentation. mas is a good micro ... We would like to know just what to avoid (at the phantom power supply, etc ... and they should say that we should not fiddle about with the switch in shape while it is plugged in: it's been the holy crackles ...).

Otherwise accurate sound across the spectrum. I'm pretty amazed for a microphone in this category. Before I recorded with microphones shure dynamic (SM, beta). The difference is obvious, for a comparable price. Quite sensitive to pressure. Anti-pop is necessary and do not stand too close to the voice.
The high pass filter is a bit wild for my taste and somewhat distorts the sound. I prefer to use an EQ after.

This seems to be indeed a clone of the SE 3300A 530E sold instead of 166 for this one. Do not get it ... Declawing is the effect of probably ... Or is the model of the previous year?

I recommend this mic for home studio with no problem. Then for users more pros, I do not know if it's worth a Neuman, but the ratio Q / P is amazing.

This is a studio microphone with 3 static pattern (omni, cardio, and 8)
Ncessite a +48 V phantom power supply
Delivered in a small suitcase with elastic suspension and spare.

OVERALL OPINION

It is a microphone that I had a Christmas thank you the first Christmas and I must say that before a habitu dynamic microphones compltement it changes me!
It is prcis, possde good amplification, sturdy, and dlivre an extraordinary price for the 166 !!!!!!
The only say (a change BMOL) is for me the suspension is mtal and that seems less sturdy than the rest
But if the report is qualitprix gnial!
Over time, I head over to the Neumann m'instant but for beginners I, I'm not too much in me so it is ideal for micro couraging a good job in my little studio.
I also SC 300 and SC 400 and I catch a couple of sounds on flute, guitar ... trs and they are good too for the price
I put 9.5 just for the suspension but otherwise it's all good!

Just Purchased the SC-1100 and in one word ... "Amazing." Used it for female vocals and it sits in the mix extrememly well. I Have Used MOST high end mic's and T-Bone this IS as good as Any of the best microphones on the market. I am a Canadian producer and composser and can expect the best translation of a performance. This T-Bone SC 1100 Delivers in Tons. The quality of the finish is outstanding. You Would Think It Was a microphone worth 10x it's price. As one person here .. Said "It Is not a great microphone for the price ... IT IS a GREAT microphone Basta. I Used a vintage tube pre-amp with" JJ "tubes. Very warm to say the least. Well done Thomann for over seeing Such a fine product.

OVERALL OPINION

I just Received the microphone today and Used it for a singer from "Star Academy" ...

Micro srement singing and acoustic guitar soon.
Non-static?
Handle with prcaution, store and use for APRS avoid the clogging of dusts.
Think of pop filter.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a few days.
I like the look heavy, solid, well packed in a super case.
I have not tried but only seen other models, and less than 500 euros, it is better that the 158 who did score that!
For the price, you can not do better. It's srieux.
Rest the fears of the reliability of the made in china, but you really have no bowl to have a bad microphone invoice.
I do it again this choice, because for the studio, it is excellent, no onreux, and it is better than a dynamic course.

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.
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?

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

It is a micro trs heavy and strong, comes with the suspension, I use it for vocals and miking acoustic guitar.

For singing, it is good, the sounds are clear and trs going well in the mix. The dynamic is trs sensitive to the slightest shrug of voice I fall faster in the red, so I will have to buy a compressor.

For the guitar, it must be my fault, I have yet to find a position making the good, the sound is too dull and unattractive stuck. I'm working, but I sup to the microphone to be so that a. gnial To see ...

The microphone is equipped with a high pass that I switched let systmatiquement. The positions 8, cardio I do not use, I leave in omni.

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.

OVERALL OPINION

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.

OVERALL OPINION

This will soon be 2 years that I use for making room in his mainly of repetition. It is in fact a record our rehearsals so that we listened and then we correct or change the regulation of our sounds. So to do this, we do not need top quality microphone, this low-end and is very suitable for even very eficaces what is asked. In a second step, it is also used for live sound to the battery is not great but it works very well. However, we use a preamp tube (12AX7 mes-boogie) which gives it a "color" nicer and offers the possibility to make better adjustment with the Graphic EQ. for what in fact it is quite sufficient. 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.

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 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 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.
