Value For Money :
Excellent
Micro Lamps Cardioid Condenser.
Superb suitcase containing 7-pin XLR cable, power supply, microphone windscreen, suspension kit and a replacement for the elastic suspension. Very complete.
Micro relatively robust (although that is a static tube so be careful to heat shock, etc. ...).
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 weeks. I've been thinking, listening, comparing the number of microphones, tube lights and not -> Rode NT1 & NTK, TLM 103, SE Electronics Z5600, AudioTechnica ...).
I agree with the previous opinion, compared to the TLM 103 TB1mk2 is much less steep in haut-medium/aigu! At the same time they are two different technologies, but hey, what a slap in the sound! Sound soup, warm, very good definition and good sensitivity, and especially without the coloration of certain vulgar tube microphones sometimes more expensive. I note a slightly lower medium back, but nothing serious.
I recorded my singing (very rock, warm and powerful voice to the Free / ACDC / Cry Of Love ...) -> Good results!
My own voice (rather nice) -> Correct
Acoustic Guitar -> Bon made without excessive aggressiveness, correct definition.
Electric guitar -> no, not managed to get a sound that suits me, on average, and close proximity, in the correct atmosphere (give a little air).
Tested on TG2, A-Design Blue, Purple BizMk, LTD-1.
It is a pleasure to mix (very little correction to be made with the EQ, except a LowCut (see below).
Qualities: Good definition, warmth, smoothness, accessories, easy to fit into a mix, cash relatively well
Its defects: a single pattern (cardioid), no low cut, no pad, slightly recessed lower midrange.
EDIT 11/07: some voices of the medium is a little "stiff"
At this price, do not ask for the options useful but that would have significantly increased the price of micro (Pad / HP / multi-directional)
Here is a microphone with a very good price / quality ratio. (Warning, I heard that some series had a different rendering of a microphone to another, especially with the first generation of TB1, to check / test the mk2 so.)
I intend to invest in a second TB1mk2 before saving for my next micro (no doubt a FLEA)
I will complete my opinion as and when it is used.
