My beloved condenser, finally covered on the best audio channel! Fantastic. I love the sound of the SC400, it's warm, not overly bright but definitely the top-end is enough so it's not muffled either. For Europe it is a fantastic offering, as we have trouble getting things like Worker Bee here for reasonable price, so Thomann stuff makes it a bit better and easier to get a good quality audio for low price.

[@ObscureMics]

This thing slaps!

[@enriquekahn9405]

Hidden gems (and weird old mics) is what this channel is all about.

[@ObscureMics]

Bingo bongo bango my friend

[@sholeetunes]

Hidden feature: open up the microphone and you'll find a locut switch inside.

[@ObscureMics]

I did this on the video

[@sholeetunes]

@@ObscureMics Oh, really? Must've missed that part when I was looking up sth. about the SC600, which I wanted to buy at scome point.

[@meistudiony]

HAHAHAHAHA!!! The hat made it!!! So those caps could very well be dictating the roll off on the top end. MOD OPPORTUNITY! Customize this and the ON-STAGE to what you want! That mic sounds great man! I just got a tbone ribbon...(RB-100). It was interesting, but not in a good way, but this thing freakin rocks!!! Lookin forward to friday!

[@ObscureMics]

If only I had the time to attempt to do more mods. I miss mods

[@redcabinacoustic-official]

Thanks so much for the PCB XCU. Now I won't need to bug you offline. I just ran to the studio so I could compare those boards to mics I have, but the mics I wanted to look at are out on loan. It will have to wait. Sounds good. peace

[@ObscureMics]

Thanks Joe!

[@redcabinacoustic-official]

@@ObscureMics Love you babe!

[@PlainFucked]

I think the T.Bone sound popped a little more than the Onstage and for that price that is a lot of smooth and detailed sound for the price

[@ObscureMics]

100% .

[@levelupwithmikenewman]

Love the look too. Nice find! Loved the hat even more 😂

[@ObscureMics]

Yee Haw Mike! The hat will return!

[@SmokeDaJitt]

Damn, just over $80 for US delivery 😖. Great video and solid find!

[@ObscureMics]

Yeaaaaah...you definitely want to need more than one thing when ordering

[@hellomeatrobots]

If they had an American distributor, it would be terrific. That $4o shipping is a handicap that makes it compete in the $75-$100 bracket just kills it.

[@ObscureMics]

IF you have eyes on another product though....their prices are about that much cheaper on brand name gear Also, happy to see ya in the comments....seems like its been a while

[@FOHFILMS]

I have two of the SC-450's, the step up from this one. Fantastic sounding mics, though they do have some prevalent resonance issues/microphonics. Not really audible in practice though

[@ObscureMics]

Nice. I definitely plan on getting all of them in......eventually

[@fluphybunny930]

Replaced my 450 with a second hand King Bee V1. I prefer the sound of the King Bee but the 450 was very very good for the money.

[@cyberdefenseddi]

Sounds good ! Great review 🙌

[@ObscureMics]

Thanks Rich!

[@Thorsten_TBH]

As always, a great review! But ... Bark, why you didn't do the LOW CUT-Test? The difference would have been interesting.

[@ObscureMics]

Just always found it odd when its INSIDE the mic. Won't lie...didnt wanna take it apart again lol

[@onlymyopiniontech]

Minus the plosives don't touch it, it sounds good. 👍 👍

[@ObscureMics]

I feel like when a mic does plosives WELL....it should be praised

[@vanceshepherd1618]

And SEMI-PRO is the most underrated Will Ferrell flick.

[@ObscureMics]

Yesssssss

[@billlord4203]

Respectable performance

[@ObscureMics]

Absolutely. Bill, I meant to email you....is there a trick to getting this 12 haughe mic to work? I plugged it in for the first time last night...and...nothing

[@billlord4203]

@@ObscureMics did you use the provided splitter cable? It is a stereo mic that requires 2 pres and phantom power.

[@ObscureMics]

@@billlord4203 wow...I did not lol

[@CooKeeDough]

What is the Best usb mic for 50 or so for my live streams! I use expensive xlr mics usually. But need a cheap usb for my ps5 gameplay where I don’t use obs!

[@ObscureMics]

Check my newest video!

[@Jokerfeler]

Dont know much about mics, so that's why I am here. Looking for a mic for basically delivering workshops on Zoom and a times using it for discord and stream. I have a behringer UMC22 so would like to use it with a XLR mic. The t.bones are calling me, but cant decide between this sc400, the BC500 or the MB 7. What would you advise me?

[@ObscureMics]

The bc500 would be my choice if you are using a normal room in your home The sc400 would be my choice if you have a sound treated room.

[@Jokerfeler]

@@ObscureMics normal room it is. So thanks for the advise.

[@vanceshepherd1618]

Sounds a bit like the sweet Mackie budget condenser?

[@ObscureMics]

I can see that

[@AdamGraham-11]

Hey, do you know which microphone stand goes with this. I found a bundle with a pop killer but I still don't know what mic stand goes with it. Thanks 😊

[@ObscureMics]

There’s a ton that work. What style of stand are you looking for?

[@AdamGraham-11]

@@ObscureMics thanks but I think I have one. Thanks though 😊

[@Markisbeatz355]

Hey man! I want to ask, which microphone (condenser) do you recommend for podcasting, and vocals (male & rap), budget is around 100 to 150$. What do you suggest?

[@ObscureMics]

The neat king bee ii.....in that price range, that's probably the one

[@Markisbeatz355]

@@ObscureMicsYeah I see but it's not on sale on thomann, maybe you find something great on thomann? Thanks!!!

[@FOHFILMS]

It is in fact pronoiced Tomannn. The H is silent

[@ObscureMics]

Ahhhh thank you

[@jjanime6130]

Hi . What dynamic mic do you recommend for 80$ or less

[@ObscureMics]

I'm a huge fan of the digital reference dri100.....no reallly

[@lilbooger2]

looks similar to mackie em 91 c

[@ObscureMics]

Same style body for sure

[@lilbooger2]

@@ObscureMics how does it sounds compared?

[@Ashvra_]

i think that is the same mic as the mc001 alctron lmfao

[@ObscureMics]

Likely lol

[@DimebagDarrenLowe]

no appreciable audio difference

[@ObscureMics]

Was certainly super close
