the t.bone SCT 2000

Sounds great! Great service from Thomann.
Update 06.05.16: I still think the mic sounds good! BUT...........a big problem......... ! One year ago exactly after I?d owned it for a year, I started getting terrible hiss! I ended up using another mic for the recording! I hadn?t thought about it again until I went to use it last week! The same thing happened!! When I changed the patterns it sounded like thunder!?? After I?d pulled the mic plug out and replaced it back in the power box a few times everything worked well again! I will be contacting Thomann about this!
I just want to say that this has nothing to do with the fantastic service from Thomann when ordering!
Update 06.05.16: I called Thomann and they immediately offered to replace it! I will return the defect mic on Monday!
Very friendly and efficient service, I look forward to a good sounding working mic! Thank you Thomann!
Update! Mic back within one week, working and sounding great! Thank you Thomann! Great service!

I've read some people say the tube that comes with the mic sucks. I don't think so. It's pretty high gain - so you need to stage your gain correctly on your audio interface. But the clarity overall is fantastic.

Reports of "floor noise" are kinda funny to me - I prefer high gain mics, and this one has picked up my neighbours two floors up doing the naughty deed. That caught me by surprise when I went back to hear an audio recording for a product review before removing out any background noise and setting a noise gate.

Build quality - people reported the shock mount was "sharp" and they needed leather gloves for it. Definitely not the case.

Some people have said it feels cheaply made. Again, not the case. This is a well made and very durable microphone.

Overall, I love this thing and it will be my primary mic and is replacing my blue.

I have bought that mic after a review I have read on a very reputable magazine. I was looking for a low cost tube mic.

I have been using it a lot since I bought it, it became my go to mic. You can't go wrong with it with vocals, acoustic guitars. I have used it with great success on strings and woodwinds. I mostly use it at the same time with ribbon mic, but that's a matter of preference. It's always the "main" mic in multimic situations.
It has a very nice case, and the spider provided will do it's job very nicely. Many people claim that if you replace the tube with an expensive one it's even better. I may do that in the future, but the mic is wonderful as is.

All in all, you can make your music sound much more "expensive" with so little money. You will not take much more from a mic even if you spend five times the money on a more expensive one. It's not just good for the money, it's great.

I ordered this microphone from Thomann for a recording project. It arrived promptly and I was excited to get on with the project. However the shock mount which came with the microphone did not fit the microphone which meant that I was unable to use the microphone.
Thomann have replaced the microphone and everything is now in order. I am delighted with the performance of the t.bone 2000. It is equally impressive when recording vocals and acoustic instruments. I particular I am impressed with its performance when recording several vocals and instruments at the same time in a "live" situation in its omnidirectional function. Great quality and great value.
