I USED THE depuit 1year
EC MICRO IS VERY VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE IN THE MEDIUM AND ACUTE presision REALLY NO WHEEZE LAMP DO NOT RIGOLE IT IS NOT THE STYLE TO THE LOW S HAVE IN CRAZY IN A MIX ON NOT NEED BUT SHE STILL FUCKING! !!!!
the beauty of this micro ;;;;;;;;;;;
the least in this microphone?
YA NA NO!
i rode a k2, RODE NT1A, NEUMANN TLM 103, U47 AND THAT I NEVER VENDRER
THE T-BONE IS CONNECTING WITH TLA 5051 V2 G CHANGING LIGHT THAT SOVTEC G REPLACE BY TELEFUNKEN 12AX7 / ECC83 RIBBED PLATES RADIO TUBES DIAMOND THAT MY SKIN OF LISTENING ....
WITH SEVERAL HOURS OF SETTINGS G REALLY NOT NEED DUN AVALON
THE PRICE OF THE MICRO AND REALLY NO JOKE WHEN I HAVE RECEIVED THE CRU QUIL I HAVE A PROBLEM Y DALY ON THE PRICE
IF I REFER THIS CHOICE?
I BUY THE FACTORY Uzine YES

This microphone is a microphone large lamp membrane as everyone knows ...
RAS is a good start.
I am having trouble stitching on the microphone, it is pricked everywhere on the body of microphones, and just to one side yet he always does entrepos ... so I do not know not sure what to think.
So I'll repaint it may be because I'm the "costomiser" IAW which t Present in the forum on this microphone. I change all of this micro condos and I also put the mtalliques resistances ... icing on the cake and I will also change the lamp ...
I hte to listen to the result.

I use it for a few months.
For now I accuracy of all that I have used on guitars and a voice, but I have hte to test the deeper ...
I t pleasantly surprised by his heat against it must be mfier lack of treble, made a little MP3 exagre sometimes ... I just obviously but in the spirit it's a little fawn all over 15Khz there anything ... and at the same time it makes sense on a large diaphragm ... but when m am I expected better.
This is also why I tried the mod ...
Unlike what people say prcdants opinion, there is a proximity effect, but does not act on the bass, but the characteristics of the lamp transfers, so more compress, working the sound thick.
It is obvious by comparing it with a good microphone transistor.
I wait to try it on a bass or a bass drum.

I tried several microphones, but this is the first micro lamp I buys ... I compar with a microwave transistor 4050. AT a voice, it is quite surprising :dropoff window
_The Phase changes sometimes is often out of phase with the 4050 ...
_The Signal is totally rabott.
But at the same time it is an advantage considrable replaces a compressor taking ... It is a kind of natural compression decision, but it's a bit Avalon typ ...
I love the clear voice taken accuracy of all with the air, and I think it lacks a bit of brightness and definition in acute or acute extreme but ts often I fight the opposite excesses: too acute, which is just as dsastreux ...
I listen to hte that overlooks a grate amp in its saturated or even a bass amp, and also on an acoustic guitar after making the changes.

The report qualitprix is ​​amazing, you can not ask him to walk exactly like a U47.
A BMOL all the same: one is stung from all over the front of the microphone body, it is obvious that it is a treatment default ... But it is not I'm serious ... why not paint it pink or neon yellow like (just kidding).
The first one I bought I found Cygnus 200 per net. Even today, I just bought a second home Toto 288 with a coupon of 10.
As soon as I reois I think transform also conditon that the First transformation is conclusive ... so considering the price of the amendment, 30 micro, I dj taken all the components for the second ...
I shall have more that try diffrente lamps ...
Despite the few outlets that I did with, I achterais 6 well at all, as I would be 3 couples ... Given the rates I do not really prendais risks.
At the same time if I find the same price for a C12 clone, I prefer to buy a copy of the C12 ... matter of taste ...

For the characteristics, everything said t lower. Micro Chinese lamp.

Search a microphone to the sound as natural as possible and dpourvu this gloss modern microphones in the medium-high hardness and high gnrant sibillance (voice made F / H).

The acquisition of a MK 319 has achieved this goal. If the medium - high medium is a superb musicality prcis see soft fat, the treble is attnu it though. Catches are lacking a bit of air. The correction of this spectrum has to do with a high-quality equa on pain of acute Synthetic. Under these conditions, with a good prampli (average output level of the microphone), the MK319 allows to compete with the tnors GRADE some voices, the high-medium and treble corpulent.

Passage micro lamp with TBS. The overall definition is better overall. The output level is more lev. Bel impact and thickness of the stamp. But under certain conditions, the high-augu medium (between 5 and 8 kHz) can sometimes avrrer harsh hair, nothing serious and without comparison with many small Chinese and Australian friends. It corrects the qua aisment if voice is supported on this spectrum. Finally, the lower medium can avrer a little too rough for proximity effect. Here again it is trslger.

TBS is provided originally a Chinese 12AX7. Following the opinion DPOS by Le-Petit-Alchemist, I changed the lamp for a 12AY7 GT. I confirm completely observations: high-medium is attnue and is much more pretty and sweet, while it does not seem as acute (at del 10 kHz) is lower, according to the info I distill my 8040. Finally, the lower medium is a little less loaded in proximity. Mutation Russia, this micro and wins acclaim.
I tried also a 12AX7 (more gain and harmonics, less sweet but better precision transient) and 12AT7 (like the 12AY7 but with less amplitude) home EH. The interest with TBS, is that depending on the lights, the sound color is changed. Multiple microphones in an amount, based on the record source. In addition, the lamp is very AIS change.

Another advantage: it does not dtimbre many off-axis. So that the singer can move a bit without really changing the sound (the opposite of a C414).

For the taking of an acoustic guitar, I find it a bit slow and too bulky coat. I prefer him a pair of C451 in SE3, faster and therefore more prcis. But equally depends played the style.

A BMOL: A premiermicro's tomb in the harbor: significant loss of gain and acute, parasites when turning the slecteur of slectivit (!). The lamp n'tait not involved.
Toto warranty, me have changed against a new one. Observation: the sound is not the same. Quietest and cot imprcis walls of serious and has attnu plusfaible proximity effect in cardio. It accredits much the idea that Chinese products do not prsentent a homogeneous quality. Therefore caution.

In conclusion

The +:

- Micro's report qualitprix excellent. For a low-end price, it attacks the mid to high range
-The Taken stamps are very musical and prcis without the caricature and drooling cot lamp
- Possibility to change the color by changing the lamp. Multiple microphones in one.

The -:

- Lower medium proximity effect a rough haired, slightly above medium hard sometimes but maitris withthe 12AY7 GT
- Weight (necessity of a sturdy feet)
- Average quality of Suspension
- Unsurpassed Quality of production

It's amazing that no one knows where does this micro or you your too young!
this mic is nothing other than the Z5600 to electronice
see https://www.seelectronics.com/revpdfs/z5600a/Resolution_UK_Z5600.pdf link
who abandoned for t Z600A and new plants with more stringent standards
so for the characteristics it is a eletronics is ...
it is also more expensive coutait in SE elec (Thomann requires)

NOTICE GLOBAL

I could compare it to Z600A and the difference is minimal in any case it does not justify the 400 euros cart between the 2!
note that this is a robbie williams Z5600A that made her the best-selling album (h yes no Neumann!)
I'm not a fan of the singer but I ador color.

I find the sound (of tbone) can be a beautiful shiny coat and saturating a little fast but choosing a lamp diffrente rgle this prob, I'll leave the task to see what suits you best
and as all have said that this price you can afford complter it with a radically opposite microphone to broaden its sound palette for my part I had a C414 and frankly it covered ground ...
Either Manire a pro at taking will settle for 2 mics.Mais for us composers and other home studio
it's a chance to have this quality that prix.et as every voice is diffrente can also try the MXL who seem to be of the quality quivalente ...
with a pondez if you do not we plantar tubes ....

Edit
I just change the lamp for JJ ECC83 S and wow ... the sound I was looking for is lbr /> thank you Fred VHM rue Houdon
I took a test and also 12AX7 EH Electro Harmonix GOLD
and really made it too
The original lamp said fred is of good quality but a dip in the midrange
I agree it will have its utilitbr /> I will also test a Sovtek ...
if you need lamps
VHM I made them because I thought the promo too much hassle to find cheap lamps
and 15 euros is top
good music amigos

I just bought a TLM67 Neumann say anything ... I rank the SCT2000 ...
I keep it because you can not compare two microphones price if loigns ...

Lead vocal microphone (Anti Pop Bond) super cardio
Micro Chorus double cardio
Omni mic for making acoustic super cardio or (depending on taste).

Lamp technology, double capsule.

I is not 10 because it is difficult to trust this brand has only distributed in Germany
and manufactured in China. The origin is uncertain, if not that is a beautiful object, one can Austr.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it to mock-ups for 6 months for lead vocal, backing vocals and miking guitar.
The neutrality of the microphone, the faithful restitution, treble are the strengths of this microphone.
We must use it with a preamp and Antipop, resulting in additional charges.
Until now I 'was using a Neumann TLM103, the rendering is as well or better,
but the T-bone is much more versatile with the cardioid 6.

The report is EXCEPTIONAL qualitprix 400 and deserves to October 1

I would do this choice, that is on!

Micro lamp with tlcommande (slecteur directivity of 9 positions)
Large laminae ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 9 months, time to get an ide in time.
Slecteur the directivity is very practical to rgler the best decision possible for testing in the studio, nice suspension. In my opinion, 2 or 3 meters over cable (it's a seven-pin to 7 meters) it would not t dplaisant.
The report price is exclent quality, I have a Rode NT2, good micro but the SCT2000 The definition is much more fine and does not bleed in mdiums, more non ngligeable.
This micro possde linear behavior, it is no surprise and adds a bit of grain (thanks lamp) in the grave, is not in the nasal and mdium not whistle in AIGS It is my humble opinion, trs neutral. Do not use a hsiter prampli well made to draw the rich ...

Micro static lamp with 8 SETTING THE directivity.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month before I had a Rode NT2 and a Neumann TLM 103 and finally an old Neumann U 67 - I am surprised by the enjoyable rendering of the microphone to say, I handed the Neumann U 67 (notice to intresss ...) -
A report of a quality price exceptionel an Asian manufacturing, look fabulous, just mtalique of a small bump in the 5 kHz, but a warm, the Grainde, treble prcis .... I pass by a prampli TL Audio 5051 which should help bring out its essence, I do not regret my purchase and I buy one PRTA deuxime taken for a couple of sounds. since I use it (I make voice over) my clients have really felt a diffrence.

Trs beautiful micro lamp.
I put 7 / 10 because I had a problem with the cable which is quite fragile, shame!
I changed the cable for a more solid, and since it is impeccable ...
Then default on the MODEL, and impairment of manufacturing?

OVERALL OPINION

Nothing to add, all this has said is true t!
Other than that I have a command deuxime for couples.
For environments of cymbals, it's really a wonder.
This is the best microphone I've heard so far.
I even made the catch with a voice SEElectronic Z5600, which is exactly the same, I can confirm (from a color and cable ... sniff)
If you do not need to select the directivity of the MODEL SCT700 Thoto at 166, is the same without the big button on the case ...
In any case, these two microphones are really the business of the century ...

It is a static lamp

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months mainly for voice and acoustic guitar, he is doing well trs

Plus: It's as soft as a micro prcis totally versatile
The least: A significant effect of proximity trs

I do not have too many comparisons because I have never tried a German, but it is much more natural than the sct of 1100 Tbone and infinitely more than prcis akg c2000 b

The report quality price epoutouflant

Here's a little test on my voice with just a small compression (http://perso.club-internet.fr/arnaud.provent/mp3/sct2000-voix.mp3)

Another in yogurt + guitar + reverb compression rvox Princeton (http://perso.club-internet.fr/arnaud.provent/mp3/sct2000-voix-guit.mp3)

I really heard about this German brand that has busted the manufacturing plans of the major brands that have fallen into the public domain (Neumann, AKG, Schoeps ...) to make low-quality mics at once. There were only a elloges about them and the prices of dingoes. So I'm tempted by the SCT2000.
First surprise, the carrying case (with double closing code), very complete:
we find the microphone in a wooden box, with two elastic suspension parts, the box with power selector cardioid, omni and bi-directional, the cable 7 pin XLR and the doc.
Second surprise appearance of the material. The mic is heavy and the aluminum borssé is nice, the briefcase has a good look, the suspension looks solid.
Third surprise, SON!
I have a RODE NT1, a SM 57 and SM 58 as I know. I plugged the microphone on my BLUETUBE (I have previously changed the lamp of the latter for a Sovtek 12AX7WA for under breath and more finesse and precision of sound), I waited 30 minutes for the mic is hot, I did some taken at 20 cm from the microphone and there is a vamp! A sound that I like: warm, deep bass without the drool does not, present a medium but never believed, well defined treble, but never shining metal and invasive, a slight compression that flatters the voice and gives it a grain and relief ,.... I LOVE! There is talk of proximity effect, yes, there is but one saw my vocal repertoire, ca I have no worries. There may be a little breath due to the lamp and its natural compression, but I do not give a fart is the sound that counts, the breath is the charm of the contraption!
It is very far from my NT1 that I could not stand, I am delighted!
PS: The only problem: the switch of power supply. the mic is in the back of the box, suddenly I installed upside down for fear of leaving on (like most of the time I put it in position cardio, I do not get often selector front ...)

OVERALL OPINION

Bought for € 220 OCCAZ is the business of the century. I will definitely buy a model like the RB500 Ribbon or RM700 (at this price it's really not a luxury).
For SCT2000, run to buy it, no need to have a knowledgeable ear to hear the difference, I assure you!

I am the happy owner of a 2000 T-Bone SCT last few months that I use mainly for guitar and voice. It is a micro nice but it seems to me that the technicians who STRID Describes highest performance have not done everything wrong. I think it is when even a bit limited for esprer to sound professional.
Personally I find it quite normal that a good acoustic instrument can be trs expensive and therefore the sensor for the capture the smallest nuances is also not shock me too much, especially when we know that the cot quality components are not declining, and that if one goes lectronicien a lot of time designing and couraging a microphone is a bit normal that it all reaches a cot and m me a cot certain.
I confess to be the proud Owner 'of an acoustic guitar luthier (Philippe Monneret, Mirecourt, trs the far bottom right down the hall, Vosges), jazz guitar cutaway and micro Benedetti with an acoustic sound not claim trs powerful (no rose) but trs well balanced and especially with a big personality that I gote, although sr normment (I ' had not bought it otherwise).
And of course the object is difficult to capture undermine Fidler and T-Bone is my feel a little lightweight to do so. BUT, looking for good instead of the microphone, with a prampli spl gain station 1 to rump and recorded on a Roland 1680 for your exact is made audible and honnte. So a report qualitprix trs Hon.

OVERALL OPINION

I had tried that before and SM57 and, curiously, an AKG C451E overhead, which did not so bad rsultats. But part of what I do, T-Bone seems much more convincing.
For the price I would do the choice, but if my banquire asked me to marry him, I viserais srement onreux much more. As my banquire is a banker and shall decide that I do not change their habits, I think I'll keep the little Chinese for a while, which I think is an excellent learning tool

Here is my coconuts
I ordered a t-bone 2000 and I received from a short week ...
reaction time of the order has thomann: 12 hours
delivery time for Paris: 6 days
Delivery status: nickel
..... Good for the mic ....
start by the superflux: trunk flattering, nice packaging (for the price of course), cable 7 pin scary, but everything seems still quite robust;
the important thing now: I'm taken as voice, very very nice micro, after an hour's heats he rolls himself, made nice hot good mid-bass, a little slamming in hq but nothing redibitoire, really value for money is just unbeatable for me, finally I have not seen better .... it is a good investment micro-light no matter what happens ...
However a small problem but it is important to some users:
forget the phantom, the micro side note .... the forbidden So those who wanted attention pluguer different playthings ...

OVERALL OPINION

J'met 9 because it's not manley but I put 9 because it's not the price of a manley!! go for the shot is a good t-bone!

Hello, I do not remember which patterns of micro! In short I received it today, I put it in place of Roland DR 80C which I find very good but it does not matter ...
The sound?!? It's unbelievable, in fact I have connected to a portion of the transistor in the preamp-voice mk2 and if I found my other mics nickels, t-bone and squarely in desssus, and I can not believe yet, after a good warm-eure, a pure, clear, showing that my other pickups are a bit grainy, in short what I mean is that no longer need to make the "pseudo-therapy" because pro level, it shakes very high, I compare it to a microphone that I used at alltimes studio in Beirut, Blue brand with a value set at € 6,000 and the microphone!

OVERALL OPINION

I did that for several hours, and I think back expand my comment but I work with a lot of mics such as Neumann U 87 and TLM 103 AKG and Sony and some under the price of this saw the micro incredible as it might seem that T-bone is the price of gourré ... but good! to redo the election if all my tests are good for this microphone that likely, I took a 2nd!

Large diaphragm microphone lamp.
rponse in frquence: 20Hz - 20,000 Hz,
multi-directional: omni, cardioid, figure 8 and directivity intermdiaires
Max SPL: 130 dB
Comes with a carrying case, suspension, power supply ...

I do not put that 9 / 10 t becaufe filters would be welcome (but hey, we do not have everything ... oeut)

OVERALL OPINION

Hello,

I possde this mic now for almost a year and I had the opportunity to try it in several contexts, mainly tenor sax, bass, guitar, voice and mic ambience.
I could compare it with other mics including Shure SM58, SM57, Sennheiser MD441, T-BONE RB500, NEUMANN TLM103 ...

The main default of this micro-mdiums are down a bit confused and treble too hard. I would say the most obvious is:
- Between 190 and 280Hz lack of precision (a sort of veil or boiled according to the source)
- Acute and too hard to put forward 5, 8 and 10kHz.

Microphones deficits above, the MD441 me as particularly surprised and impressed, mainly on my tenor sax ...

Compared with the TLM103, despite the bump in hauts-mdiums/aigus of micro (and many modern large diaphragm microphones), the SCT2000 dire need of precision across the spectrum, the dnature Acute lot of sources adding some sort of buzz at dsagrable possible. The only advantage: the heat of the lamp helping get his hat in mdiums.

Which is not bad at all, it is the infinite possibility of directionality. As far omni: with its wide atmosphere. In cardio in proximity: its in your face. In Figure 8 prs, in your face with an ambience more dlicate. Each has a directivity curve frequencies and dynamics SPECIFICATIONS I think.

On bass: + or - 10 cm center to bridge, in omni, directed slightly to the left or right oue according gots and slightly above the fingers, in APRS laguage low-mdiums is quite plutt despite a lack of precision and the sound of strings on the fingerboard to the volume fMeasure.

On the voice: the hissing and the lack of precision of this are the low mdium also felt.

On the guitar: it may be in this area that is most comfortable if the sheet was to make a post EQ recording subtle. It's quite flattering mdiums guitar whose sound is a little too late.

On the sax: I test the tnor and (possibly also be because it's my main instrument) of the bump is unbearable and acute dnature compltement sound. I had a better rsultats SM57 is to say!


My advice would be to buy this microphone and do change (capacitors, lamp:
to buy the MD441 can find it cheap to OCCAZ (but not get a good precision dlicate static) or SAVE to buy a ribbon mic in Royer, RCA , AEA and other killings in the genre (compared to the RB500, adchire)

FOR: - the sound of the lamp
- That even when a static good quality for the price
- Changes or "upgrades" are possible and apparently effective
- The multitude of directivity is sometimes convenient
- The price I think it's hard to beat

CONS: - the microphone quickly falls into the caricature of the lamp with low-mdiums dgeulasses
- Sources for such voices and blowing, the severity of acute is my opinion rdhibitoire
Here!

[Edit: APRS new comparative tests with the Neumann TLM103, in fact the T-Bone takes the road if not for this confusion of mdiums (but provides a grain) and those few peaks trs thugs in the treble that I find difficult without turning the decision dnaturer ...]
