the t.bone TWS One A Vocal

Rozhodol som sa pre tuto nenarocnu verziu bezdrotoveho mikrofonu len koli publiku, ktore vyzaduje bezdrotovy mikrofon. Mal som obavy z najlacnejsej verzie ale bez oba sa nehambim cez tento mikrofon aj spievat. Charakteristiky nie su na urovni drahsich modelov ale podarilo sa mi ma mixpulte nastavit korekcie tak, aby bol zvuk co najlepsi. A na moje prekvapenie je. Jedinu zaporny opticky detail je len ten, ze je to plast a posobi tak. V skratke - som velmi spokojny.

This is a great quality microphone for the price paid. It feels solid and well made. I bought a radio mic from a local supplier in England (a well known chain of stores that has a name that sounds like a holiday camp!). This was heavily discounted but it was still rubbish at any price. It suffered dropouts like crazy even from a few feet away. So I came back to Thomanns reasonably priced mics. I have in fact a headset mic that I bought some years ago from Thomann. It was cheap and it has NEVER dropped out once in the time that I have used it. This made me think that it was not much of a gamble to go for this TWS model. It has good sound quality overall. Better than expected. The sound samples on the Thomann website don't really do it justice. For instance it is easily as clear as the Behringer wired budget models with a good level of detail and an upfront slightly aggressive tone. Maybe more suited to rock vocals (I sing Jazz) but I think that only because I have other mics and have become used to their sound. If you bought this as your first mic you would be a very happy bunny indeed. I think it has dropped out momentarily in the few times I have used it but it was so brief I could not be sure it wasn't down to user error (good line of sight is needed I reckon). Battery life seems good, handling noise is low enough, not particularly prone to feedback. All positives really. Only issue is the battery compartment is a tight fit. Rechargeables that are over sized in diameter (ikea rechargeables are fine for instance) may become stuck.......you have been warned! Keep up the good work Thomann. UPDATE......I have been using this for a few weeks now and my observations are just a little different now. It is prone to dropouts and odd squelchy noises at random. The dropouts are mercifully short in duration and the odd noises are probably not really noticed by the audience due to the cacophony of my backing tracks (big band jazz). In a quieter setting it may be an issue so do bear this in mind. I would say buy one of these as a stopgap but do move onto something better as soon as you can afford it. Sound quality is still good though which REALLY matters.

Update: I have sold this on now. It was dropping out too much and as such it was not usable in a professional situation. Ok for karaoke but even then there is much better availble for a cheap price. I may have got a bit of a duff one so do bear that in mind.
