Customer reviews about the t.bone EM 800 Stereo Set

Exceeding all expectations!

Colin2561 27.01.2014

My aim was to find a small footprint microphone that could be used on a Leslie cabinet.
I have used so many combinations over the years for the top and bottom but never really found the perfect combination.
I saw the EM800 on the t.bone site and got redirected to Thomann.
I figured for the price there would always be a use for them somewhere in the studio.
When I received the box I was first impressed by the little case and upon opening
it is really neat package all foam lined. When you hold the mic it has a very nice solid feel and a good weight and the finish is excellent.
The pop shield is a really nice fit and the XLR connection looks gold plated.
I immediately plugged it into my console and sent the signal out to the monitors.
I was really surprised. The feedback rejection was amazing. Just speaking into the mic gave a very flat and warm response with no eq.
I compared it to an AKG 451 and 414 and then an SM57. These little units have very little colouration at all. They just sound very full. I expected them to be thin and soul less. On the contrary they punch well above their weight and have a much sweeter low end that the 451.
I am not sure how they would fair in a live environment but for me in a studio application I think they will be the 'little gems'. When all others fail I think I will be reaching for these.
I have yet to put them on the Leslie but I know as a matched pair they will do the trick.

total ok

I can not write any bad things, it is works as you think about the the price/value, sounds good, well designed, I think it looks real good, good connectors, so I have satisfied totaly. One small thing, that I need to mention, that the thread adapter equipped originaly is made by plastic, and one of them is not fit well, so I wasn't able to use, I can not fix that for a stand, but now i have ordered metal ones.

I didn't use them yet as I am waiting to get some bigger recording interfaces, but from what I have heard from friends that use them or have used them, they sound absolutely killer!

great starting point

angie_tho 24.06.2019

I bought these mics because I was on a budget but wanted to record acoustic guitar. So I tried my best to understand the specs and I must say that these are by far the best way of recording acoustic guitar with the mics I own. I love them because the sound is very clear and they come with a nice and protective case.

Excellent quality OH's....

Wookie Ulrich 12.10.2015

I bought these microphone's to record my drum tracks for my new band's debut CD.
Having used much more expensive OH's in the past, I can happily report that these mic's offer fantastic results in terms of clarity, frequency response and sensitivity.
Add to the fact that the build quality is top notch, and are housed in a great hard plastic, foam lined case, and you have a great set of mic's for a small price!

Great mics

Anonymous 12.08.2014

Had these for years and they are great for the price.
used them as general ambient and also drum overheads.
Nice case and clips are useful too! The wind cover is a nice touch too.
