the t.bone CD 56 beta Reviews

Good value mic for the money.

I can't really complain about these mics at all.They have served me well now for a couple of years and still going strong.Excellent value for money and reasonably well made and sturdy.They have been a victim of the the end of a 5b many a time and yet still keep doing their job!!

Is it worth the price? Yes s(h)ure :-) The size is small and very compatible, so placing it for miking the snare or toms is very easy. As well suitable for miking guitar amps. It is not SM57, but as well, I am not playing in Motörhead, so my budget is little bit more limited.

Simple sound. Fairly robust.

I've been using this mic to mic a snare drum up. It gives a fairly simple sound, doesn't quite capture the full snare experience. But it does deliver a clear simple snare sound.

Been using it for some time, and haven't had any problems (even with a few drummers hitting the mic identically).

If you want to use it on a snare, you will need to purchase a separate mic clip. The clip stays in place when done up well. And is adjustable so you can angle the mic into the right position.

Doesn't require phantom power, so easy to setup and go.

It's also a good price point.

a great little snare mic

I use this mic almost exclusively for snare drums. i worked a large festival as second engineer recently and used this as the snare drum mic for 3 national touring bands - the snare sound was more than acceptable and no one noticed this wasn't a big brand name mic. i also use it with the DC1000 set as the snare mic and they work great together. It's also been used for general close mic'ing of percussion and performs great in that role too. i have no hesitation in recommending this mic above other instrument mics 3 times the price.
