Sturdy quality product which works very well.
Before purchasing this product I had looked at several others from other internet firms, but some of the reviews mentioned quality of finish. I'm a great believer in buying the best that you can afford if you want something to last. To date I have not been disappointed with Thomman products.
The price for the T-Bone micscreen is still cheaper than it's competitors on other e- retailers web sites; this includes allowing for postage to the UK. So what's it like?
The outside casing around the absorbtion foam for soundproofing is of good quality with no rough edges or signs of poor finish. The inner foam is nice & thick & has been grooved, I assume to assist with acoustic reflections.
The mounting brackets are well machined & made with a substantial chrome finish. This included three seprate mounting nuts for the microphone stand. There is also a longer one enabling you to mount the microphone higher on the stand should you need it. Along with the sliding bracket on the front of the mic screen this then gives you a full range of adjustability.
On this point I have given four stars for the handling as I found that the screen was slightly wobbly. Having said that I think this could be down to the way I used the supplied locking nuts. Otherwise everything else deserves the five stars.
I tested a condensor microphone first with vocals & found that I got a nice dry sound with no ambient reflections that I could discern. I then tried recording a harmonica, again this produced a nice crisp tone with no other echoes or reflections to spoil the mix. Equally good results were obtained with a dynamic microphone on vocals again.
I'm delighted with the results & am happy that my money has been well spent. I would point out that I put my live recordings through a valve microphone pre- amp to warm things up a little. I also played around for quite a while with the mic screen to obtain optimum results.
This mic screen represents excellent value for money & you won't be disappointed if you buy one. I'm glad that I did, it has solved most of my problems with recording vocals & acoustic instruments.

Great value!!
A bit heavy on a straight stand, but once fixed up securely was excellent, giving protection from bouncing sound in the room - made recording much better!

YOU NEED TO GET THIS!!!!
I have made my own home studio and of course couldnt afford properly to completely acoustically treat the room. I went for an easier option of purchasing the T.Bone Micscreen LE and was not dissapointed. It is exactly what I needed for my vocals it soaks up the sound perfect and the recordings sound very professional. Highly reccommend this product.

Transforms non-studio recording.
This Micscreen is a life saver if you record at home or on the go at conventions, hotel rooms, whatever. VO recording especially can be spontaneous and jobs can come up quickly, even while travelling! This is a mobile and home studio MUST and is way way more reasonable in cost than similar products.
It needs a good sturdy mic stand and experience or a little tinkering to mount properly, but that's it.
If you need one, don't waste the cash on more expensive mediocre quality Micscreens that are twice (or more) for the cost.
This one makes my VO recordings sound smooth and professional with no weird vocal echos from hard surfaces or other materials in the room. I absolutely could not do my work with the same quality without it.

Good quality product for lower price
It's better to invest in acoustic treatment, but if you are on a low budget you can use this type of mic shield. The product quality is good and it's relatively cheap

Makes a huge difference
Made a massive difference in my untreated home studio, bought on a whim as havent yet had chance to address the acoustics of the studio, It made a massive, noticable difference. Would recomend, perfect for those who dont have a studio but still want to track nice clean vocals.

It's a good product, it does affect the sound quality, even though my room isn't treated.

I was looking for something small and easy to use. This product works properly if you don't need anything too big but easy to handle.
