A nice bargain
Tim6185 22.11.2013
I have been nicely surprised by theses mic's. They were bought for recording (primarily) acoustic guitar. They do a fine job particularly if used x/y as this allows mono without phase problems. As a spaced pair they sound great but like all other mic's don't mono too well. They seem to catch the top guitar strings in a warm way without that fizzy spiky stuff you can so easily get. The bottom end is warm without boom. I also used them on a full band recording (bass, electric guitar, harmonica, vocals) as overheads on the drums. Again a nice crisp sound that could either be used with lower frequencies rolled-off for cymbals, or as a full range recording. On mandolin they are very good, fiddle a bit bright but may be very good at a little distance in the right room. Not much good for vocals - the large LDC win every time. I haven't tried these on guitar cab but again suspect that there are better options.

The mic's feel chunky and of good quality. The clips are a little awkward as they a bit too tight but at least your mic's don't end up on the floor. The clip threads are only plastic a feel as they may easily cross-thread. The same applies to the crossbar which is all plastic including the thread. The roll-off switches are useful but I tend to use the pad on drums only and the HPF on the mixer.

All in all worth every penny. I guess you would have to spend quite a bit more to get significantly better. A keeper.

Great value stereo pair
misterong 16.05.2013
I bought these for snare drum duties. They work brilliantly on top and bottom together. Subsequently I have been using them as a stereo room pair in x-y config and they are great. solid build quality, good accessories. They will get a lot of use in general.

The secret weapon for drum overheads
LaszloM 26.11.2013
Hey, wake up guys! Buy this one and you won't have any issues with drum overheads in the future! Clean sounding, sensitive microphones, the holder is really cool for XY miking. I feel a bit harsh in high end which can be corrected by an eq. Used for acoustic guitar is useful as well, with proper positioning you can get a full and even sound.

Good Quality Results That Won't Break The Bank
Simon P 29.07.2013
I was after a stereo set of directional microphones and did a lot of searching for something that was in my price range at the time, and really struggled to find something that would do the job without breaking the bank... Until I spotted these.

Basically I can't say a bad thing about them. They feel nice and weighty and have a good build quality. They also have a very good frequency response. At least I've never noticed anything missing anyway.

They also work great at varying volumes. Either ear splittingly loud or very quiet and subtle. They seem to be able to cope with anything I've thrown at them.
And to top all that they come in a great Thomann carrying case.

tbone sc 140 stereoset
Paullimerick 24.07.2013
Purchased these to record rock drums. Had been using other microphones which i thought were doing a fine job, however when i made a few recordings using these and used them in band recording i was doing all the other band members immediately commented that the drums were much crisper, clearer, and it was easier for them to hear the drum track while they were doing there part over the drums. These microphones come in a solid case, can be mounted on one stand using the stereo bar, and have a microphone cover. They pick up alot of sound, so be quiet in the backround. Have used these to record piano, and vocals (ensemble from a distance, Singing right into them would pick up too many explositives). They are small and powerful. Takes a while to find the best position to place. These are affordable and clear. If you make a living from doing professional recordings you may want higher spec. If your like me and want quality and affordibility these are for you.

Very nice mics
Robert269 25.10.2013
I'm not that experienced with recording equipment and recording acoustic instruments, so I cannot reallt compare these to the more expensive mics, but to my ear these sound really really good and unless you actually have a high end studio I think these should be sufficent for all kinds of recording, be it a piano, a choir or a singer songwriter.

sc140 small condensors
Neil S. 15.05.2013
These small diaphragm condensors are ok for the money, but not a great sound. Moved on to more expensive mics before long.

Normal mic for a good price.
Vadim S. 13.11.2013
Sound is clear and seems to take all frequencies quite well. However it is a bad choice for a real studios because of materials and quality, it is not reliable if not taken with care. However in a personal home studio it will work and live quite long i think.

Excellent results for a budget price!

A really solid pair of microphones! Recording quality is excellent and the bracket for holding the mics is a great idea. Well worth the money!
