TONOR XLR Condenser Microphone, Professional Cardioid Studio Mic Kit with T20 Boom Arm, Shock Mount, Pop Filter for Recording, Podcasting, Voice Over, Streaming, Home Studio, YouTube (TC20)

This review makes me seem like a bot, but I am actually human. I am just so impressed with the microphone considering that I paid MORE for a worse microphone in the past than I paid for this one that I felt the need to review it. Immaculate audio quality and brilliant for podcasts, streams, vocal acting and all of the other things I do. Very sturdy microphone boom that is not too hard to manipulate with one hand. High quality desk clamp with the boom as well. Pop filter disk is anchored, firm and is high quality. Diameter is good too, it's not a tiny cheap one, and I like the logo on it. Microphone surface dampener is a perfect fit and is easy on, easy off. Out of the box, this microphone is ready to connect to a mix board or a phantom power supply. Wonderful work by Tonor for making such a beautiful product and making it affordable. It is not the most impressive mic I have played with, but it is much better than what I had.

...like most im definitely skeptical with these cheap microphone kits because they almost never pass my testing for one reason or another. As you can imagine running a full time tech & gaming channel for streaming and YouTube reviews i get a ton of product in my hands so let me just say this... The Microphone Sound Quality alone on this mic sounds better than most microphones double its price tag....you get a full kit of high quality parts to go with it which the boom arm alone is probably $40 and is made of steel and has a durable nice feel to it....this kit is undervalued in my opinion and is a steal at this price tag...the only downside i found was the shock-mount was hard to fix once tangled and that this setup requires phantom Power. if you already have an xlr microphone or a phantom power source your rocking in your setup your golden....Other than that its a fantastic microphone and its definitely worth more than $60 but dont tell Tonor that... If you would like to watch the full review i did on my YouTube channel with this microphone check it out on my channel "DetroitFury" the video is titled "A full audio Kit for $60? Yikes! - TONOR TC20 Review"

Overall, I think this is a really good, budget, package for hobbyists, podcasters, and streamers. I really only have a couple complaints about it. First, regarding the boom arm: it's decently built; it has a nice, solid feel and holds its position without cranking down the pinch screws. It is doesn't have quite the range of motion at the base as I expected, but it was sufficient, for my purposes. It's also on the shorter side, so the overall reach is not the greatest. I did not like how freely it rotates; I have mine clamped to my desk and it kept swinging towards my monitor--there is absolutely no resistance to it. A quick wrap of electrical tape solved that problem, but it would be nice if it had a set screw in the base or were tighter fitting. The microphone is great! It feels well-made, has good sound quality, and doesn't pick up lighter background noise. I will say, however, that it is SUPER-sensitive. Initially, I had it going to my interface and then PC. With the gain turned all the way down, I still needed to keep it a foot or better away for normal speaking--nevermind singing. It was necessary to add a mixer between the microphone and interface to adjust the levels. Other than that I haven't had any complaints. It certainly doesn't have the sound quality of expensive microphones, but it's really good, as budget microphones go.

This was bought to use over a headset mic and let me say it sounds amazing for the price. The build quality was sturdy and very light weight! I’d recommend this to anyone wanting to transfer over to an arm mic as you get the arm and the mic itself is easy to set up as it’s just a plug and go! Great sounding microphone!

I like the microphone. I had to get a phantom power supply for it as I had thought that my radio would supply it. Once I got a good phantom power supply, I was able to connect the microphone. The comments are that the sound quality on the other end is good. I am using this with a Heil cable and foot pedal to enable me to use my radio hands-free. I'm really happy with the microphone. The shock mount works well. I did not put the pop filter on but I did put the foam wind screen on. It seems to be working well this way. If I were recording music or a podcast, I would likely use the pop filter. I don't like the boom arm as much. It seems to have springs that are much to strong. I can't get it to stay where I want it, even though I tighten the knobs. I am not using it as I found a better one. Also, the base needs to be such that the base can be mounted with a screw or bolt directly to a surface as the clamping mechanism is rather large and does not fit where I need it to. It does appear to be well constructed. For someone with a different setup, it would likely work just fine. I should have ordered the microphone without the boom arm, but

If you are a gamer then this is all you need. The microphone itself is not crystal clear of course, don't be expecting to buy this if you are trying to drop a mixtape or you're into singing. I promise it won't sound the best, but I can say that so far of using this mic specifically for gaming, zoom calls, discord, and even for youtube, this mic is not bad at all, you can hear yourself crystal clear. Mine is currently paired up to a UM2 audio interface, probably the best sounding thing that I have heard, my voice sounds crystal clear, even with multiple explosions going off in warzone. Moving away from the mic, I can confidently tell you that accessories are probably worth 60 bucks alone. The arm moves and swivels perfectly, it's very simple to set up, I was done in less than 5 minutes, I had no experience whatsoever putting a mic together, but let me tell you that it was like putting together legos. The pop filter paired with the foam cover, god-like, I can blow on the mic on purpose, and none of the noise bleeds through to the mic itself, it simply won't pick up that noise, however, as soon as you even whisper, it will pick your audio up crystal clear. This mic is a steal at 60 dollars, and when this also goes on sale sometimes for 42$ it's an absolute no-brainer buy.

To start off lets talk about everything included in the box. There is a Boom Arm, Pop Filter, Windscreen, Shock Mount, The cable, and the Mic itself. The Mic is XLR so you do need a Audio interface or phantom power to get this working, I included a picture of the audio interface that I am using right now. It cost $110 at my local MicroCenter. The installation for the Boom Arm was very easy and simple, You tighten the desk clamp and the you insert the boom arm into the desk clamp. I included a picture of the desk clamp. There is also a WindScreen and Pop Filter included. This help the prevent harsh noises or sounds on the mic. Hold your hand up to your face and say the letter P, you can feel the air when you say that letter and a pop filter or windscreen prevents that air from hitting the mic so it doesn't sound distorted. The shock mount is very useful so when you drop something on your desk the Mic doesn't absorb the impact. Now for the Mic, it sounds amazing for the price you are paying, It has a Cardioid Pattern to reduce the amount of background noise. Overall, If you want a good XLR mic for the price, The Tonor TC20 is a great option. I do not regret making this purchase. 10/10 I recommend this product.

The mic is alright.. durable for sure. The input signal is too sensitive though even with the input knob being all the way down on the interphase. It's good f you're just using for podcasts or streaming videos, but for recording music? Not so much
