Good for the price

rhytard 12.11.2018

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.

Surprising little sticks

Karl37 04.06.2013

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).

Every sound engineer should have these in their collection

Raymond908 15.05.2013

These mics were recommended to me when I attended a recording workshop. When I saw how cheap they were I was sceptical but decided to buy them anyway. They paid for themselves the first time I used them when making a video that required the mics to be setup out of shot. I can't believe the quality of the sound from such a small mic and to get a matched pair complete with shock mounts, windshields and a stereo bar mount in the kit is astounding. I cannot rate these mcs highly enough.

a solid option

Theepicten 29.12.2025

The t.bone EM700 is a surprise in the budget condenser mic world. It’s affordable yet versatile, offering a clear and open sound that punches well above its price point. In my use - recording both vocals and acoustic instruments at home - it’s shown itself to be a solid option when you want something better than your stock USB or headset mic without splashing out on pro-tier gear.

It brings out detail nicely, especially on delicate instruments. It’s not going to match high-end condensers in nuance or low-noise performance, but for demos, podcasts, or home recordings it does a very respectable job. Just be mindful that it benefits from a decent preamp/interface to really shine.
