Behringer TM1 Complete Recording Package with Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Really good microphone and brilliant overall value.This is on the basis that I paid £53 for this microphone bundle and not at its RRP (now £79, usual price), and therefore I am basing the performance of the microphone and accessories of value of both prices.The microphone is of high quality in terms of the shell and bundled really well. I personally do not like silver casings for microphones because I find them more noticeable to see fingerprints on them. However, if you're using it in the case of using it on a microphone/boom arm stand, this shouldn't be an overall big issue as you would be mostly touching the shockmount or pop filter after installation, unless you plan to use it more as a portable microphone.The shockmount supplied seems to be nearly the exact same model as the Rode PSM1 which, at this point of writing the review it is sold at around the £30 margin, except that this version has an extra arm for you to attach your pop filter at ease. The shockmount alone is insanely good value if you compare the specifications between the PSM1 and Behringer's included shockmount. For those who may not know what shockmounts are, they are a holder for your microphone and help absorb as much vibrations as possible that come from the surface. So if you attached it to your desk and hit your desk, the shockmount would help reduce as much noise as possible from that hit.The pop filter is nicely branded and good quality as it is double layered and therefore is twice as effective as a single layered pop filter. For those who are unsure what pop filters are, they are to reduce plosives, which if you've noticed anyone say their "P"'s into their microphone, you can hear a sharp gust of wind applied to each pronunciation, making each word harsh sounding and not completely natural. A single layered pop filter will help a lot, but a double layered will be, as already mentioned, twice as effective. It's a very welcome addition to the bundle.The bundle also comes with an extremely long 6 metre XLR cable, which is EXTREMELY useful for those who do not have the budget to get the same length of cable on its own, and is extremely useful for those who either would like a backup cable or need a long one to use, and also comes with a small bag to put the microphone itself in for travel purposes.The bundle altogether came inside a box but unfortunately not a travel case, which is most likely a downside for people using this microphone for travel or portable purposes.The microphone itself is really high-performing for the price. There's not much to say about features, as it has none itself. However, if you look on the specifications on paper, this is a very neutral and natural sounding microphone that will help anyone in the interest of equalizing it for their own end result.Is it worth £53? Absolutely.Is it worth £79? Absolutely.Bearing in mind however, I did do these tests with a Scarlett Solo 2nd gen interface, which you would need to power this microphone as it is a condenser and requires 48v (phantom power) to use. I would recommend getting the Behringer UMC22 interface, as the microphone doesn't need anything remotely special or medium-end to use.Thanks for reading my review and hope it was of help to anyone.

For the price unbeatable.Acoustic guitar and vocals sound great.

Really good for the price. Nice!

Amazing microphone for the price, literally sounds the same as most expensive microphones.
