the t.bone EM 700 Stereo Set

I got these to record a stereo image of my acoustic guitar for bedroom recordings. These mics pretty much just do the job for me, I have yet to try them out as an overhead pair for drums but I can predict they'll work fine, looking at their frequency chart.

Pros:
- Affordable
- Includes a stereo rail which is very useful when using the mics, shock mounts and windscreens.
- Features selectable pads AND high pass filter cutoffs which I appreciate on mics.

Cons:
- The shock mounts are very tight to get the mics in and out of which might be troublesome for others.
- These mics aren't amazing for recording acoustic guitar as they sound a bit "thinny". I'd say these mics are more designed to be used for overheads.

Overall, I'd say if you're looking for a cheap solution to drum overheads, try out these mics. But for close micing guitars or anything, I'd advise looking for a different kind of small diaphragm condensers.

I ordered these microphones in need for some stereo recordings.
I had to make just one and I thought that 40€ is bare maximum. So I bought these.

After I hooked these up I was quite surprised what 20€ could give me - pleasant sound.
First I tried to record some binaural ambience. Worked out great for me. Picks up sounds good thanks to a cardioid recording pattern. Being a small condenser microphone it isn't that sensitive.
But this was enough to get me to try recording a piano. I set it up as stereo one for lower end, one for higher end.
At home I listened back the recordings and it sound fairly good.
The mids were a bit muffled and the low end a bit weak but it was easily compensated by an EQ. Not perfect but not utterly bad either. I think the okay rating describes these microphones quite well. They aren't good but they can get the job done (by jumping through some hoops).

I was sceptical at first, but decided to buy them. Did not regret though.
I use them as overhead pair for drums but I can predict they'll work fine in other setups as well.

Pros:
- Very affordable
- Includes a stereo rail (which is very useful when using the mics, shock mounts and windscreens)
- Has selectable pads with high pass filter cutoffs
- Designed to be used for overheads for sure

Cons:
- Very, very tight shock mounts (but ok, not much of an issue really)
- Not for recording acoustic instruments as they sound a bit "thinny"

In that particular price range, look no further!

Have gotten these mics as a pair of overheads for drum recording. They are extremely cheap and shoot very well above the price point.

About the only con is that the case that it comes with is a cardboard box but it does its job and for the money I would not expect anything more.

The mics come with all adapters, shock mounts and even a stereo arm which can get you started in no time. The stereo arm feels a bit flimsy but not bad by any stretch.

The build quality is great. The mics feel superb in the hand and have not found any issue with the construction.

The sound is clear (a tiny bit on the dark side) and sits very well in the mix. It consistently produces a very usable sound and considering its price point I am thoroughly impessed.

Would recommend this and will try to use for other applications.
