Customer Review Summary

The t.bone Ovid System CC 100 RC EW

However, there are some concerns regarding the build quality of certain components. For instance, the thin cable, while allowing for flexibility, can become loose during use, leading to unwanted noise. Additionally, the microphone’s mounting system may not be the most secure, especially during vigorous performances, which could result in the mic detaching from the instrument.

Despite these issues, the sound reproduction is generally very good, and it offers excellent value for money. I have found it suitable for a range of applications, from casual performances to more demanding gigs. While it may not match the premium quality of higher-end models like the DPA 4099, it holds its own as a reliable and budget-friendly option.

In summary, if you’re looking for a cost-effective microphone that provides good sound quality and versatility, the t.bone Ovid System CC 100 RC EW is definitely worth considering. Just be mindful of its delicate components and handle it with care.
