Another TEMU Condenser Mic Review - TF22 - Telefunken TF29 Clone
Welp, I broke down and did it. I bought another weird "studio" microphone from TEMU. However, even with my hopes slightly raised after the experience I had with the U87 clone I got from there, I never expected what happened with this microphone. Absolutely blown away by it (sorry for the spoilers, but I am just so pumped about this mic).
However, like I said in the update at the end, this item is, unfortunately, no longer available on TEMU (or anywhere from what I can tell). I will regularly monitor TEMU and if it becomes available again, I will add a link here or in the comments for you all
If you are feeling super generous though and want to support me, here is an affiliate link for TEMU...

A Sleeper Vintage Microphone for Less than $40??? - Sony ECM-95S Review
Просмотров 40610 месяцев назад
In today's video we are recording the Sony ECM-95S, which was produced in the 1970's to record to tape players. This is an electret-condenser, which is fairly common for consumer microphones from the time period. I do cover a brief overview of the difference between what is normally simply referred to as a "condenser" microphone vs what an "electret-condenser" is, as that is not seen as often w...
I Bought a $30 U87 Microphone Clone from TEMU, and it's Actually Great?!?
Просмотров 5 тыс.11 месяцев назад
In today's video I test out a clone of the classic Neumann U87 that I purchased from the new wish.com competitor: TEMU. Because it was only $32, I had super low hopes, but to my great surprise, it was actually amazing for that price!! I compare it to a Blue Spark XLR as well as an Aston Stealth microphone In the final thoughts section of the video, the audio editing I used was as follows: Izoto...

[PS1] Cubix: Race N' Robots - What is going on?
I have to be honest, I don't care for the Blue mic you use as your main mic. It's overly bright to my ears. So the comparison to the Temu could not be more dramatic, since it seems to emphasize the lows very much. The Temu has a deeper, warmer tone, but the lows are almost too much. For the price it is extremely good. If I had to choose one, it would be the Temu.
whats the issue with using firewire and the mac in 2011 ? is it not powerful enough / image quality wise ?
@@cosmic_sky_mountain I may have misspoke or said it confusingly, I already am using the FireWire port on that computer for my audio interface, so wanted something to use the available Thunderbolt port. I love FireWire and still use a few pieces of FireWire gear even with my 2018 iMac with some Thunderbolt adapters to FireWire
@@stick_figure7858 nice , long live the thunderbolts of the gods !
does the intensity shuttle works in PC windows 10, mine has thunderbolt but I cannto manage to get it to work :c
Ok. I’m actually pretty impressed. And I own a recording studio.
The TF22 is back up on Temu as of August 13th, 2024
I have a review of a temu lewitt 240 clone and it sounded good too
Wow. I'm impressed with the temu mic
The TEMU microphone sounds good, but the link provided in the description, does not work, or no longer works
It DOES sound good, warm and clean highs.
I bought one and compared it to an audio-techica. at2020 and I too was. blown away by the quality. I also tried to run it down on Temu and elsewhere. but. no go. Will use it again for singing tracks in my song productions. I also used an Antares mic modifier at the input, which allows choices of many mike models... like Neuman's U87 and some tube saturation if you want. Still experimenting with what works best.
Love the timu tf22 Hands Down!!!
The blue sounds overly harsh and sibelant.
I would guess some of these mics come from the same factories in China that make expensive mics for well-known brand names? Maybe even with the same internals. The downside is that you really have no warranty if they break after a year. Whereas buying from somewhere like Gear4Music, Thomann or Bax there is a three year warranty as standard. And in some cases the price difference isn't huge.
Looks to be the same mic as the Monoprice Stage Right Condenser mic. I think the LC500 or LC100. I have a couple I intended to use a donor bodies for building mics because I got them cheaper than I could buy empty bodies. They are... not good but better actually than those horrible AT2020 mics people seem to keep buying for some reason.
p.s. that blue sounds terrible. It might make a good door stop, or maybe a paperweight.
so, i was thinking on getting at2020 or 2035 to my self, and you’re the first one who i heat from that those mics are bad, could you exactly tell me what is bad about them, or what else mic would you suggest me
@@skyclutcher9794 They're not "bad" microphones, they just have a certain tinny sound to them that many dislike. Kind of like how Rode NT1-A's have that sibilance to them. It's subjective, if you like a certain sound of a microphone or not. If you're willing to buy second hand i would consider Rode NT1(the black one), Rode NT2-A , Lewitt 440 (Can get them for similar price second hand and they're all great microphones) IIRC Lewitt 240 is same price as the AT2020 and i prefer the sound of that a bit better. Those second hand options i listed are very options though, i bought a Rode NT2-A for 200€ and sold it for the same price a year later.
@@skyclutcher9794 Not a large diaphragm. Its a Small D surrounded by rubber so it looks large through the grill. Horrible High Mid peak that is very harsh and ugly. Bad low end definition. High self noise. I have 2 and never use them.
@@skyclutcher9794the AT2035 is a completely different beast than the 2020. It's much, much better. I own one and I wish I could afford another.
It's very noisy and waaaay too bright. It sounds like a shitty headset microphone.
Where is all the compression coming from? Your audio is so hot and crispy it makes it hard to evaluate the sound of either mic.
what the hell this is AMAZING! my friend was right, sax DOES make any music better :O
I just posted a temu tech review of a microphone today. Check it out if you like. It's not horrible
and still awesome in '24
I was wondering why there is a constant hum from my sub until you explained you got a fan running. You really need to get rid of that noise.
You can modify it so that it's very close to the original. There is a "bare cardioid path" mod for it that can be put together on a tight budget. You only need some decent capsule and some transformer like Neutrik, 3u or UTM. In the end you get a professional mic for he price of an Aston. You can also make it cheaper and keep the capsule and only use the circuit. There is a couple components that can be added to shape the response.
shoutout to the ukelele hanging ominously in the darkness
There’s a mandolin hiding next to it that’s even harder to see!
Amazing sounding microphone. I got a similar one from China, it's pretty darn good👍
Very cool 😎
Agreed! Such a cool little mic
I'm sad that it doesn't work under Ventura due it no longer suppoting the FireWire protocol. It still works great under Monterey.
I just started playing again since 2003
I'm *starting* to build a little cheap, no frills podcasting-ready "home studio" for myself, and I ordered a very similar mic from Temu (I should have it in about 1 more week, giddy with anticipation!) and I admit, I know virtually nothing about interfaces and speakers, you know, all that stuff that makes a flipping studio!! Alas! I am a drummer, and I play an acoustic kit & for *where* it is set up, in a very large, thick brick sanctuary of a church, the drums themselves don't need to be mic'd up apart from the kick drum, which has a Shure Beta 52A kick drum mic in front of it. It was plugged into the small amp that sits behind me. Sadly, the small amp went away along with its owner and I don't know what on earth else I can plug it into if need be. Cheap suggestions? If I picked up a Temu interface or mixer or whatever, DUMB QUESTION, but what program or laptop app supports a USB mic?? Should I get one of the Temu basic mixing boards? I will probably sell the Shure, but I'm not...Shure. It is soldered onto it's base, courtesy of my old bass player. I'm all full of puns today. Thanks in advance!!
Dude, your sound is sooooo low! Please correct it next time. And yes, this device SUCKS!
I recently found one of these, an uher m153, and a reVox High Fidelity at a pawn shop near me and was looking for info. Thanks for the video it was informative.
Of course!! I have some other odd old microphones I plan on making videos on at some point too. Love collecting old mics, it’s so cool to learn about these old pieces of audio tech
@@stick_figure7858 i agree. i've always loved old stuff anyways so now i'm just bringing that into my audio world lol
That style of connector was standard on pretty much most cassette recorders. the switch is used to stop and start the cassette for dictating. It's nice because it breaks the switch onto its own connection ans the mic onto its own connection. I don't know what it is about square microphones they don't make them that much anymore and they look cool. I think a lot of the design stems from them being seen in the early days now everything supposed to be hidden. it Does sound pretty good.
I have one and it’s better than all my 🎤
Are you joking? What a hyped POS. Guess you haven't tried any of the other cheap mics you can get now... there are others in the same price range that sound much for natural
I can't find the mic on timu
still works ?
Just stumbled across your video. I was excited to see this video with anther converter to get to usb-c as I had already made the old duet work with thunderbolt 2 on Macbook pro with the maestro working so already had that dongle. Now I have an iPad Pro that has thunderbolt 3 and they now have Logic Pro for iOS and wondering if it is even possible to to using the duet as an interface for iPad Pro or if I have to get a new one. Would I be missing any quality if it works?
guys, which driver should I use on Catalina?
Dang. They stopped making the knock-off of the U87.
Here’s a cover demo of the Temu U87 with a few pickups using the Behringer C-1U. ruclips.net/video/Z8XCq3eX4CM/видео.html
Hey man I like the video, I love when ppl preserve retro electronics and the knowledge about how it worked and how to use it! Just to be clear you just used the 1/8th inch jack and ignored the other one?
Thanks!! I love collecting microphones, especially weird cheap old ones. Have a closet full of them and I plan on eventually making videos for all of them
I haven't received the one I bought on Black Friday Special for $20. I look forward to getting it.
Fake won.. Not bad for the price very clear.
Competition has forced even cheap devs to manufacture their gear well. Good demo.
Thank you! I just love microphones, especially these oddball kind of things. I plan on doing some reviews of weird cheap older microphones I’ve picked up on eBay in the near future
I guess we're paying for subtle differences that are actually worth a lot more in the end of the process. Maybe we shouldn't expect to hear dramatic differences between cheap mics and expensive ones when it's the subtle differences that are the most important.
The sound of my duet firewire is suck when I connect balanced monitors to the duet’s unbalanced output’s. I thought I’m listening really quality sound. But when I tried connect monitors via headphone output it was 9000% difference. Sound from main output like mono and with lowcut filter in comparison of headphone output. Also I hear huge noise when in 44100 mode from headphone jack but not from 48khz. The huge noise is also when I connect’s Apple Studio Display to the macbook. And if you type something or use trackpad/mouse this noise is so annoying… So the quality of the DUET is not so good (( 😢 Next is drivers and maesto which not working with M1. Yes I can make it working if type a few commands in terminal under safe mode when booting mac os. But after each mac update they removes firewire driver again and again…. I got a AU Volt 176 and don’t have now any issues and don’t have this LOUD noise.
yeah for me it sounds really bad but thats just me its so harsh the blue spark sounds way better much thicker not tinny.
Sounds like it has no low end response but for 37 bucks it's really cool
Exactly. Not a ton of low end, but I can’t think of many sub $50 mics I’ve ever heard this good
I bought one. It is total junk. Self noise is so high that it sounds like there is a waterfall in the background. It also picks up more room than subject. The pop filter and plastic mic holder total about $3.00 of value. The mic itself is useless except as a prop for a movie. Save your money and buy anything-even a budget AT 2020 before you waste a minute on this embarrassing product.
clicked you're affiliate link and it was $7, haven't even got far enough in the video to hear it but i ordered it. hope it's the same one!
It should be! When I generated the affiliate link, it did say there would be some discount in what it told me to copy and paste, but I only copied the link part of it. This was only the second time I’d ever ordered anything on TEMU and first time I’d tried generating an affiliate link, so I’m certainly still learning how it all works. And thanks!
Not bad, but the tell tell sign is the self noise. There's a hum in the Temu mic that disappeared when you switched to the Spark.
The hum and self noise is annoying and not impressive at all.
as you're recording it sounds like we're hearing both mics at the same time at parts... however the cheap u87 sounds clean, maybe bright, not harsh... but maybe a tad bit hollow... impressive for $30... but not so much when you think about technology and Chinese mass production aka lower production cost
Clean but hollow is actually a fantastic way of describing the sound. It weirdly also has an almost non-existent proximity effect. If you don’t mind, where were you hearing both mics at the same time? I have a degree in audio engineering, so I’m very comfortable working in a DAW, but am still very much learning my way around video editing software and definitely appreciate feedback on that front (and this video was one of the most challenging videos I’ve made because the audio switches tracks so frequently)
@@stick_figure7858 I was listening in my studio out loud through my monitors... so as I watched the video and your movement placed you somewhat between the mics... but that could just be the effect of being outside the pickup position I found the Blue to be clean and have "body" to its presence... ironically in my field working mostly with R&B and POP vocals - it's gonna get rolled off anyhow whereas the u87 clone was clean but hollow... like it had an eternal HPF engaged... I personally felt the proximity effect helped the u87 clone... the price of the mix makes it a great podcast choice for sure I would love to see if the mic can be paired with a preamp and what tonal shaping takes place in that signal chain
@@AyoMillz my next big audio purchase is likely going to be an interface with multiple in’s and outs so I can more easily begin using outboard gear like hardware compressors and fancy pre-amps. I should have said in the video, but the interface I’m using for all the mics here is an apogee duet, so the pre-amps are going to be clean, but it would be fun to pair this U87 clone with a preamp with a bit more character
