Easy handling

The budget-friendly CD 55 from the t.bone is a dynamic instrument microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern, tailored primarily for toms and snares but also suitable for percussion. It comes equipped with a versatile rim clamp that allows for direct attachment to drum hoops, and thanks to its screw-clamp design, it can also be fixed to other surfaces like the sound hole of a cajón – opening up a wide range of uses, especially for beginners. For those who prefer a more traditional setup, the microphone also features an integrated stand mount.

Lightweight durability

The CD 55 features a durable yet lightweight plastic housing that effectively shields its internal components from accidental stick hits. With a high maximum sound pressure level of 140dB SPL, it handles loud signals with ease, making it well-suited for percussion miking. Its cardioid polar pattern captures sound clearly from the front while reducing unwanted noise from the rear. The CD 55 delivers clear, reliable sound quality that's well-suited for beginners getting started with recording.

Budget solution for live applications

Rugged and budget-friendly, the t.bone CD 55 is an ideal entry-level microphone for anyone starting out with tom and snare miking. It's well-suited for demo recordings in rehearsal spaces or home studios, but truly shines in live settings. The rim clamp included here makes mounting and positioning effortless, allowing for quick setup and minimal downtime between sets. In short: a smart and practical choice for newcomers looking to streamline their live drum setup.

About the t.bone

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.

Not just for the rim

The easiest and most efficient way to mount a the t.bone CD 55 is with the rim clamp supplied for this very purpose, which allows for direct, space-saving attachment to a drum rim or any similarly sturdy mounting point. To support a wider range of uses beyond drums and percussion, the microphone also includes a built-in stand mount, allowing it to be easily used with standard mic stands. This expands the creative possibilities for recording a variety of other instruments, making it well worth trying out.

Passt!

Thomas002 07.06.2013

Wir benutzen das Teil im Akkusitikduo (Akustikgitarre und Cajon) zur Verstärkung des Cajons. Die Idee mit dem Grenzflächenmikro ist uns erst später gekommen, aber: das CD55 ist sehr gut verarbeitet und steckt auch mal einen Schlag weg. Es kommt mit einem sehr ausgetüftelten Halter der wirklich praktisch ist und es ist für unseren Zweck ausgezeichnet. Wir stellen das CD 55 mit einem Mikrostativ hinter das Schalloch vom Cajon. Die Bässe vom Cajon werden schön trocken übertragen es gibt kein Wummern oder krachen, einfach ein satter trockener holziger Cajonsound kommt am Mischer an. Ebenso werden die Snareanteile ohne Klirren übertragen. Die Ansprache ist ordentlich ohne jede Verzögerung, wir sind mit dem Sound sehr zufrieden.

Preis/Leistung unschlagbar

Juan Antonio aus S. 25.11.2013

Nach jahrelangem Dauereinsatz (Recording, Live) muss ich gestehen, dass die Dingerfür 25€ unschlagbar sind.

Verarbeitung: Die halten einige Stickschläge aus, aber nach 20 Volltreffern könnte der Kunststoffsteg brechen... das Mikro an sich funktioniert aber noch Einwandfrei. =)

Klang: Für Liveeinsätze i.O. Etwas zu wenig Tiefgang für eine Floor-Tom, nach oben hin etwas dumpf. Allerdings ein verdammt gutes Gesangsmikro für Liveeinsätze. Verglichen mit einem S**** SM 5* deutlich definierter, Lautstärke deutlich höher regelbar, das Mikro braucht lange zum Rückkoppeln.

Für Demos und kleine Live-Gigs völlig ausreichend. Für die nächsten Aufnahmen sollen es aber doch mal Audix werden.
