t.bone SC 400
Supercardioid Condenser Microphone
The t.bone SC 400 is a large-diaphragm condenser with a switchable high-pass filter and transformerless output.
It uses the same circuit as several other microphones:
- Nady SCM 800
- CAD GXL2200
- CAD GXL2400
- Apex 435
The mic’s capsule is a 32mm K67 style, with one diaphragm metallized.
A switch on the circuit board enables a high-pass filter. The body sleeve must be removed to access this switch; it does not protrude through the body.
t.bone’s specification sheet gives the mic’s self-noise at 6.7dBA, which is incorrect. The mic’s self-noise is closer to 20dBA.
Unlike other vendors of this microphone, Thomann cites the mic’s polar pattern as supercardioid rather than cardioid; the published polar chart shows a lobe of sensitivity behind the mic, with nulls offset from 180°.
