Their handle-and-basket design is a true classic and the beading on the upper half of the shaft ensures a tight grip. And the microphones sit firmly in their included clamps. A convenient switch on the microphone’s body allows you to turn it on and off on the fly. Much care has been taken to make the switch easy to use with just a flick of your thumb, while ensuring that it doesn’t get switched unintentionally.

The dynamic capsule of the very transparent sounding microphone is robust and can handle loud sources without distortion – up to 144 dB SPL! As the pickup pattern is a super-cardioid, unwanted sound sources from the sides and rear are attenuated, which helps to avoid bleed. The grille basket dampens popping sounds when used at a close distance. Connecting the microphones is easy: Simply connect the XLR output to any microphone preamp on a mixing desk, audio interface or external pre – no phantom power required. And if the input jack happens to be a TS type plug, just use an appropriate adapter. The t.bone MB 60 Set comes in a practical hard case.
