The SC 450 is a large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone housed in a sturdy metal casing and accompanied by a robust metal shock mount, offering durability and reliability from the start. With a frequency range of 20Hz to 18kHz and a remarkably linear response for its price range, the SC 450 delivers sound quality that rivals more expensive models, making the microphone a solid choice for both beginners and seasoned home recording enthusiasts who are sure to enjoy its performance for years to come.
A large-diaphragm microphone forms the foundation of any studio setup, offering a versatile solution for recording vocals, electric or acoustic guitars, percussion, or drums. Its proximity effect adds ever more depth and brilliance the closer you get to the mic, creating that signature 'radio voice' for speakers and adding shimmering highs for singers, which is why microphones like the SC 450 are the go-to choice for these applications.
Thanks to its linear frequency response, the SC 450 is well-suited for both music and speech recording, offering clarity and balance across applications. A built-in low-cut switch at 100Hz helps eliminate background noise like footfall or air movement before it reaches the recording, while the included shock mount prevents unwanted vibrations from being transmitted to the microphone. Perfect for beginners entering the world of home recording, the microphone also serves as a reliable second mic in more advanced studio setups, and when used in pairs, two SC 450s perform excellently as stereo overheads for capturing drums or piano.
Since 1994, the t.bone has been one of Thomann's in-house brands, and its name can be found on devices such as headphones, wireless systems, in-ear equipment, and various microphones and matching accessories. "the t.bone" products are made exclusively by renowned companies who also manufacture products for other well-known brands. This provides a clear advantage: Brand-quality products at very reasonable prices. And word gets around: One in seven Thomann customers has already bought at least one product from the t.bone.
The SC 450's cardioid polar pattern effectively filters out background noise and room sound by consistently suppressing anything not coming from the front, making this microphone a great choice even in less-than-ideal acoustic environments or noisy settings – whether recording at the desk or on the go. A switchable low-cut filter helps eliminate footfall and air noise before they reach the recording, while a -10 dB PAD is available for capturing very loud sources without distortion. To top it off, the microphone comes in a sturdy case, ensuring safe and easy transport wherever it is taken.
