Behringer TM1 Mic Review / Test

Today I review another budget mic from Behringer which looks quite a lot like the Rode NT1a. This costs $120, has a great set of accessories, and offers a very modern sound meaning a weighty low end and a dominant top end which gives it a slight v-shape. The top end does come across a bit harsh, but for the price it’s not horrible.
