Published on 10/30/11 at 21:03Sure, you can find more expensive mics, but I don't think the quality will be that much higher. The T.bone SC300
mics put out crystal clear sound, just make sure your system doesn't produce noise, but you don't have to worry about this mics. They are also very sensitive, using pop filters is a must. Good for use in a studio. I lent them to someone who makes professional music and videos for low key artists, and he liked them. You could use this in combination with a USB lightsnake and a portable phantom converter and use the mics without the need of a mixer, on any computer (although I have yet to try that). You will also definitely need a mic stand, but it's awesome that the mic has it's own shock mount, and it works well, but if the bands start to come off often, just use pliers to bend the hooks a little to ensure they stay in place.
OVERALL OPINION
It works well with vocals, acoustic guitars, bass amps, stringed instruments, bottoms of snare drums, bass drums and many other things. It has a smooth high response and lots of lows and mids. My favorite uses for it are on acoustic guitar, bass amps an bass drums. It captures the depth and of acoustic guitars along with the highs that dynamic mics don't offer. It also works great for a natural kick drum sound and it is smoother sounding than dynamic kick drum mics. It is a bit to round for use a a overhead for cymbals but it will work if you are getting the sound only from the overheads. When positioned at a reasonable distant from the vocalist's mouth at the right angle, the T.Bone SC 300 performs like a champ. Though there is much higher quality microphones out there, for the price of with the proper placement this mic can turn water into wine.
