In case you haven't noticed the TM-1 comes with K67 type center terminated capsule and NT-1 with Ck12 type edge terminated capsule, those are different animals altogether. K67 type capsules have treble boost which has to be fixed by built-in EQ. So TM-1 is not exactly an NT-1 copy, though they look similar, they both have U87 type basket, add Tannoy TM1 to the same genre. In addition to frequency plots it would be very useful to see the waterfalls as they can show the real tonal balance much better.
Bandrew, have you ever thought of plotting frequency graphs of the mics? It wouldn't have to be 100% scientific. If you used the same frequency sweep and had the mics more or less in the same spot for the test, you could easily show a visual representation of the frequencies. What we hear is most important for sure, but I think a visual would be awesome!
This!!! I've waited forever for someone else to raise this too, I just gave up. A sweep from inside the 'Box of Doom' or whatever it's called would be good as a visual representation of audio data is good!
Was waiting for you to do this one! Behringer didn't actually design this rip-off. This is the Tannoy TM-1, rebranded by Behringer. Behringer liked it so much they bought the company (Tannoy) Ain't that tricky??!

Why hate Behringers game ? Warm Audio does the same with their 47,67,87 copies.Nobody does complain there. I find it actually helpful to know what they are aiming at.
As far as budget mics go it sounds good and that low self-noise is appealing. Nothing a little EQ & compression couldn't fix. Seems like a good value package with that shockmount and filter. For those that care, it's a pretty photogenic package for streaming / visual podcasting. It doesn't sound like a NT1a but it looks the part. One of the better looking budget kits.
While it does seem very 'inspired' by the NT1-A, the TM1 name is thanks to Tannoy ('Tannoy Microphone 1'), a brand that Behringer bought recently and re-labeled as their own. It's relatively easy to copy the look and frequency response of the NT1-A (to a degree of accuracy), but that low self-noise seems trickier. I'm no microphone designer, maybe it's easier than it appears and Rode also trades off some other quality to get their low noise. Too bad nobody with the right testing setup would ever verify that spec sheet figure for such a budget mic.
I really wondered about the Behringer TM1 and wanted all the information you gave in this video! I've never been a social media creator, but I have been getting more motivated to make mainly voiceover kinds of casual content in 2024. I used your referral link and bought a TM1 today!
This is a mic i woulda used back in my high school set up….it actually doesn’t sound too bad. I feel like if it wasn’t meant to be a replica of the NT1A, it’d be liked more. The main difference I honestly hear is the highend, the TM1 is a bit more bright. It can definitely hold it’s own in a studio setting, in my humble opinion.
OMG BANDREW! I was waiting for you to review this keyboard but It's never happened. BUT finally! You make a review before I have to purchase this or NT1a tomorrow.. what a perfect time
I like this microphone ..I also have a Neumann tlm 103 & tlm 102....for me its about what sound I'm trying to achieve. The clarity is incredible and the top end can be sharp for some - but that can be adjusted. Is it wrong for me to enjoy a bright mic? 12:05.. you nailed it
@The Tired Horizon The Lauten Audio Atlantis FC-387 is a large condenser microphone. I haven't checked all of their mics, so there are maybe ribbons or tubes as well.
@Stefano Pavone interesting thought. I actually thought of it as a tlm103 killer. i'm a moron because I sold the king, now really wish I'd kept it, considering I can no longer get one. dumb.
@@DMKahn Nah, the U87Ai is an inferior version of the old U87. Ai version just makes everyone on it sound like they have a cold. The TLM 103 has a completely different sound signature from the U87 since it's a transformerless mic, whereas the U87 has a transformer, and is a much more mid-forward sound (boosted mids). If you took the U87 and scooped out the mids, you'd have a TLM 103 with extra polar patterns and more self-noise.
@Stefano Pavone really?? oh hell, looking forward to that. I wonder if they'll price it closer to the original sticker, since it became so popular. (editing now) Ok, i just saw the article. Neat King Bee II, coming out at $169!
@@arbitermatt Oh, I understand that and I have no problem if a mic uses similar tech that another one does. It's the unnecessary provocation that Behringer tends to have when doing so, by calling their mics very similar names and using nearly identical exterior designs as the original mic e.g. Behringer's BX2020 vs. AT2020, Behringer Bigfoot vs. Blue Yeti, and Behringer's TM1 vs. NT1. Again, I'm not against a company coming up with a cheaper version of a mic. In fact, I love it when a company tries to take a mic and make it cheaper without compromising the quality. It induces the competition to constantly improve which in turn means better mics at better prices down the road. I just don't like the provocative naming and exterior design.

Hello, congratulations on your videos...!! I would like to ask a small question, the Behringer TM-1 compared to the MXL990 which would be better in your opinion...? Congratulations for your work.
This mic has never really agreed with my ears. I once could have gotten the Tannoy TM1 for $60, and not realizing the incredible lack of self-noise, passed on it. But, fairytale ending, I got the NT1.
This mic doesn't have to be great at rejecting the noise from its back - the most popular use of NT1-A mics is pairing them to record stereo ASMR So I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a good option for cheap ASMR
Bandrew, Canadian, Closeminded, Arrogant, Perfect hearing, Comedian, Brittish background! A selfdecleared microphone proffesional on the internet's TH-cam! Hates obiously coppying more expensive brands, by Behringer or Neewer, etc; Is this objective?
Could you look at SE X1S and X1A? They are said to be budget NT1, which is a much better target. Both seem to have distinct frequency responses, from discontinued X1 too, so it's worth checking them out.
I think the AKG has the best sound to price ratio. For broadcast voice work I’d start with my vintage AKG D202-E1& if that didn’t sound good I’d switch to my Electrovoice RE 20.
@@Podcastage I understand. It would be interesting to look at the frequency responses when you compare the microphones in your test environment, e.g., TM1 vs NT1, TM1 vs NT1a...
If the pop filter and/or windscreen change the tone of a mic, and you often demo a mic with and without... wouldn't your watch cap/beanie between the headphones and your ears modify *everything* you hear?
Yes. Yes it does. I’m not basing my opinions on what I’m hearing while I’m recording though. I just wear headphones to monitor to make sure I’m not clipping or popping the mics.
For those who care... The NT1a uses surface mount technology on the circuit board inside the mic. The TM1 does not. When you look at the frequency graphs of each, there seems to be a high end boost on the TM1. Generally, the circuit on the TM1 seems to give some good freq numbers and low self noise, but to my ears there is a harshness in the higher frequencies. But not a bad bang for the buck.
@Stefano Pavone Generally it is less prone to vibration issues and is quieter (less RF interference). It also tends to be a cleaner, smaller boards with faster circuits. And, in my opinion... The engineering on SMT boards tends to be a bit better (really it's just my opinion though).
I hate the blatant copying Behringer's doing but I gotta be fair, this mic sounds competent and is constructed nicely. It even kind of punches above its price.
Which one is better for voiceover. podcasts. zoom lectures. recording voice (not singing) and recording digital courses? NT1 OR NT1A? It's hard for me to decide...Thank you for a wonderful comparison.🙂👌👍
So they copied another microphone, wow. In terms of sound i believe its copying the harsher high end on the NT1A and adding some more😂, -in the plosives department it did a pretty decent job i have to give it that, -the shock mount did a fairly nice job too, no resonance whatsoever, build seems to be fine as well - definitely sounded better than the neewer, sounded slightly meatier than the 2020, the P120 was surprisingly better tho, the 240 throws it straight out of the park no issues, the NT1A however did sound better when compared to this guy, the NT1 definitely sounds way better than the TM1, lauten audio definitely sounded very nice, but i think its a kinda ovekill comparison & so is the U87, definitely sounding better than the TM1 - It sounded alright on the electric guitar, but definitely better on the acoustic bcz it has the shine to it, for singing its definitely pretty alright, for spoken word, i think this can work for people podcasting in well treated spaces, also the noise spec is impressive at this price point, so for someone who maybe needs a nice condenser microphone or they want to try something under 150 that sounds reasonable after certain post processing, sure, it is an option, all in all except the crap practices, its a decent product, will I buy it? Ummmm..thinking about that. You asked which one of the mics this was compared to was my favourite, my vote goes to the NT1. Thankyou so much for your efforts as always brother, much love!
I've bought mine TM1 week ago, and sent for warrant replacement to the seller. Phantom power drive the mic for 1-2 seconds only and then you can only "extract" sound with additional preamp (and the noise too). Probably bad luck, but had to buy C1 to make quick VO and waiting when TM1 will be back...
Hey podcastage! Universal Audio just dropped their Volt line budget audio interfaces. Im so curious about the preamp noise test results for the 76's series. Could you do a review on it?
Sounds good, but a bit on the hollow side for voice. Volume drops off pretty hard with distance. Picks up the keys a lot. Probably not worth the price tbh. Highs aren't quite piercing enough on the electric, but it did well on the acoustic.
Behringer has a notable raspiness in upper mids that drives me nuts, would be impossible to remove. I didn’t hear it in any of the others. Totally disqualifies it for voice.
When will they make behringer tm7b ☺️ BTW already there is a 150$ shure sm7b on Ali express. Please do a side by side review of the fake Ali express sm7b vs original sm7b
I think Behringer would be doing themselves a big favour by doing their own thing rather than trying to make budget copies; or so it seems.. Their stuff is okay... but. I just think they have the possibility to go to the next level but you can't do that having the perception of being "Brand B".
Can't wait for the Behringer SM7B

EPOS B20 ? I really hope you get to review that mic I would be very interested
I was wondering when you were gonna get this one.
What I want to know is: did they make a better built box for throwing than RODE?
Would it be good for performing live as well?
I heard like buzz noise when you used behringer TM1
Yeah it's not a great sounding mic.
i purchased it a month ago,
no disappointment at all
Hey podcastage! Universal Audio just dropped their Volt line budget audio interfaces. Im so curious about the preamp noise test results for the 76's series. Could you do a review on it?
I preordered one and will review it whenever they come out and I can get ample time with them.
@@Podcastage Thanks! looking forward to it!
Great video
I liked that last microphone best. What was the name again. Neumann U97 or something. Probably a nice brand? Sounded good.
It was the Newman W78.
@@Podcastage cheers! Any idea where I can get meself a coupon for that?
How you make backgroud silent ?
Are you use mac or windows ?
Thank you
Sir plz review AKG Ara Usb microphone
Love from india , I love your reviews and follow your videos regularly ♥️♥️
Sounds good, but a bit on the hollow side for voice. Volume drops off pretty hard with distance. Picks up the keys a lot. Probably not worth the price tbh. Highs aren't quite piercing enough on the electric, but it did well on the acoustic.
Behringer has a notable raspiness in upper mids that drives me nuts, would be impossible to remove. I didn’t hear it in any of the others. Totally disqualifies it for voice.
When will they make behringer tm7b ☺️ BTW already there is a 150$ shure sm7b on Ali express. Please do a side by side review of the fake Ali express sm7b vs original sm7b
Hello! In your opinion, is it better than Behringer B2-Pro?
what if this is 60 bucks on sale then is it a definity;?
if no any false details and microphone effects. in my opinion, i would choose Behringer TM1 over rode NT1A
wait, no sticker?
Excellent compression video 👍 thanks love from INDIA
7:00 ---> Rode Nt1, not bad at all.
Even fuller then the lewitt.
Wouldn't have guessed that....
.
Cool shoot out, thumbs up !
I think all the mics except the NW700 outshined this one, personally.
Too plosive-y and too sibilant for me.
Bandrew, shame on you for taunting us with that mysterious and elegant Gefell mic in the background! Please do full review. Thanks.
I’m going to be using it for a bit more before I review it.
Hi, I wanted to ask, Which is the best Boom Shotgun Microphone under 80$? 100$ would be okay as well.
You should review the arturia mini fuse 2 interface 🥺
I plan on it.
@@Podcastage i fekin lov you, greetings from mexico
Sounds very agressive on my phone
I think Behringer would be doing themselves a big favour by doing their own thing rather than trying to make budget copies; or so it seems.. Their stuff is okay... but. I just think they have the possibility to go to the next level but you can't do that having the perception of being "Brand B".
Podcastage! 💪🏿💯
the new NT1 sounds more warm, but not worth the price when this mic does about the same and sounds eerily similar to the older NT1-A.
