I can feel the difference in my vocal recordings
Zonny 22.03.2021
There's a lot of videos on the internet that have mixed feelings about a product like this, but I have to say that in my experience, this micscreen actually makes a difference.

I've done some recordings in an untreated room and I could hear a clear difference between the vocal takes with and without the micscreen. I'm using a K&M 260/1 mic stand because that's all I have available at this time and It bent my mic stand to hell, but tbh, I'm not even mad. I love the difference that this item makes on my vocals.

I would of appreciated some more documentation on the product, because you don't rly get an instructions guide on what are the best practices with this item but what I found out is that it's better to shove the mic as close to the back of the screen as possible. This helps a lot (at least in my case) with reverberations and other unwanted stuff that can get caught when singing in an untreated room.

I also like to play around with the side panels as well, depending on the intensity of the vocal part that I'm recording. For softer parts I like to open the panels wider, so that the vocals get an airy touch. For louder parts I like to bring the side panels closer in, so that it's much tighter and absorbs more of the unwanted frequencies.

I don't know if what I'm doing is right or wrong, but it seems do work just fine for me.

Pros: Good build, solid materials, relatively easy to set up and use, can be used either on a mic stand or directly on your desk.

Cons: It's kinda heavy but I guess that is to be expected and as I said, I don't really mind because it gets the job done. Does not come with recommendations for "good" or "bad" ways of using the screen

Very heavy no height control for the mic or the panel to expensive for what they offer -for that price they could use aluminum -but does the job if you can find a stand strong enough to hold it

Very nice
Bror Harald 21.01.2022
The product is very nice and it is indeed working. I've used it for a little while now and it is making the sound nice and isolated. The only thing that i didn't like is that the mount on the back was a little crooked, but that was fixed with a little bend with my hand. So over all a great product and very usefull for my home studio.

Absorber and Diffuser , home studio perfect!
O.Santana 26.01.2023
i was searching for a way to improve the recording of vocals for my home studio musical proyects. I Always come to Thomann for high quality, budget price products, and this Absorber/diffuser was just what i needed. I use it with an standard microphone stand, to record while standing on my feet. i haven had any issues with it.
With this absorber, my condenser mic "concetrates" on my voice and i get a clean recording to work with.
i do not use it for poadcasting or talk recording, but this thing comes ready to get over a desk.
I've had it for 5 years and there is no sign of deterioration of materials.
highly recommended!!

The t.bone Micscreen XL
FantasticPete 31.12.2021
Actually it looks great! Easy to set up & position. But I never got around to using this product. I ended up not needing it. So I gave it to a friend.
He likes it.

Solid quality, good price, useful
FrancoE 07.01.2023
This mic screen is built solid which is highly appreciated for the price, but that solidity has a drawback: it's too heavy for a lot of mic stands. In a lot of cases, it would simply knock your stand over or even break it. (We tried it on a basic mic stand – not a good idea.) Thankfully, though designed to be on a mic stand, you can actually just hook it somewhere else or use it on a surface.

As to its functionality, it gets the job done. As with any screen or anything related to recording audio, it depends on the surrounding environment, but when using it in certain locations in particular, I could easily notice the difference. I love the easily adjustable sides to have the screen more open or closed.

Overall, if you need it, this screen is great for the price, as long as you consider the caveat of weight.

TOO HEAVY for a standard mic stand
J S 18.01.2021
The description claims that it fits on a standard mic stand. It fits, yeah, But it bends the mic stand over and makes it extremely unstable. With a mic attached, you have to be super careful, and perhaps add a sandbag to the legs of the stand, so you don't wreck your mic!

Waste of money.
Mark1402 05.07.2022
I bought this as a package, with a mic and stand. It’s way too heavy for the stand and it would be too easy to knock over and ruin a mic. It does ‘look’ cool, but in terms of sound improving, it does practically nothing. It’s now in the attic, gathering dust. You would do better to spend the money on some acoustic foam from Thomann and then build a small corner booth.
