the t.bone TB 312 S

No latch on the connector!

There's no cutout on the XLR connector, meaning the mic doesn't lock in place connected to anything.

If you put it in a desktop mic base (such as a K&M 29375), and then try to move the mic around on the desk by picking it up by the mic connector, the mic comes out of the base in your hand. No good for live work for this reason. The sound quality is good for the price, and sensitivity is acceptable for studio talkback use. Shame about the lack of latch!

Very sensitive

Very sensitive to parasitic fibrillations. If someone walks near the table where this microphone is installed, the footsteps sound like Godzilla walked through it. Used with t.bone table stand.

Great for the price but with one design flaw

This mic is great for its price and does its job well. Been using it for more than a year and it feels like it's going to last for a long time.

However, there's one very annoying design feat: it has a badly designed on/off switch.

First off, the need for an on/off switch on a talkback mic is debatable. But this switch is placed exactly where you grab the mic when you plug it in, which makes it really easy to switch it off accidentally. Once you've done that a number of times and lost a few seconds wondering why the guys on the other end can't hear you, trust me it becomes quite annoying.

Also, the switch is on the "wrong" side which makes it invisible so even if you're conscious that you need to double check, you can't even do that by simply looking at it. And even if you could, when the switch is on it doesn't even say it's on... you only know when it's off because the slider reveals a small, black over black "off" printing.

That doesn't make it a bad product, but it's something to consider if you care about the ergonomics in your studio.

For talkback just perfect.

I have two of these in two different talkback systems. Seem long lasting and do the job as expected. For recording should use other mics.

Buen producto.

Funciona para lo que debería funcionar y tiene un buen precio. Obviamente no es para hacer una grabación, solo es para comunicarse, la calidad de grabación es mala. Pero no esperaba más.

Verry good talkback mic

Price/quality this is the best choice

fit for desktop setting

if you happened to have a focusrite sound card and looking for a mic for daily usage, this is what you should get. Build quality is solid and looks durable. and you do not need one of those DI boxes!

Hmm...

Not very happy with this mic, it picks up some current and it?s buzzing, it might be a bad isolation

perfect for talkback

i purchased this mic for talk-back use on mixing console and is wonderful! The audio is clear, the switch is functional and the rugged construction make this mic a good choice for studio or live.

Simple & useful

+ Does what it's supposed to do. Used as a Talkback Mic on my SQ mixer. The Gooseneck holds well enough.

- Not really a con, but the switch on the connector is of no use for me. Can throw you off if you never use it, and it gets pushed in the Off position :-)
