Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows about this mic.
Studio Technik B.P.M TB10.
It's a tube mic that I am considering for my Home Studio.
Anyone?
Ronnie,
 
I remember seeing some stuff a while back about the BPMs and I think its common knowledge that they are made in China by 797. 'I know this because Tyler knows this.' (Who can name that quote? ;) ) But seriously we used to distribute for BPM before we created Studio Projects. Hope that helps some, for Gidge's sake I'll try and refrain from mentioning our upcoming TB-1 @ 399 list.
Oh oops damm sorry Gidge :D
 
a chip off the old block:D ;) :p

how soon is "forthcoming"?......
 
You'll see them in stores most likely by the end of this month Gidge. We of course hope for sooner. And then hopefully mid to end of next month for the VTB1.

Gidge isn't the only one who's bothered by SP spamming. The original thread has nothing to do with SP, and putting smilies all over your post won't make the spam any less obvious...
 
I dont think i complained about spam as much as i stated that it was a conflict of interest for Alan to make comments on his or other mics in certain situations.....once again, the Studio Projects line are great mics at good prices.....lots of people here can attest to that.....having a person that has a vested financial interest say that the mic is great does nothing for me.....

Ronnie, why are you looking into that Studio Technik mic?...where r u from?....
 
Considering the "history" behind the Studio Projects(aka PMI Audio)/BPM business dealings I would almost encourage Alan to spam when it was in opposition to BPM.

Actually, I would feel the same if it were against any of the companies who hide the origins of their mics or make dubious claims to "con" the unsuspecting consumer. So far as I know, only SP and Marshall are totally clear of guilt in this regard.

db, sorry but at times there is a lot more to consider before accusing people of spamming.



:cool:
 
Ausrock, I just think the SP adverts should be limited to the SP-related threads, there are plenty of those already..."This has gone too far" (Guess which movie that's taken from :rolleyes: )

Ronnie, sorry to see that your thread got hi-jacked by the "that-mic-your-asking-about-is-crap-buy-my-new-mic-at-only-399" folks

I promise I wont say anything to piss off DB51...:D

The BPM mics are Chinese, but that does not make them bad. In fact they are very good mics, but just too much money considering all the other brands out now where the quality is just damn good.

The BPM TB10 is a fixed cardioid valve mic. Udo Beckamire(sorry about the spelling Udo) is the owner of BPM. The problem we had was that the mics came with a certificate from the German Chamber of Commerce saying that the mics were German made, when in fact everything about them was Chinese.

That was a turnoff for us, so I decided to start designing my own mics and part ways with BPM. The concern you should have is service. No one here services them, so you will have to send them to Germany if there is a problem. Not that Udo won't fix them, but the shipping costs are prohibitive.

There are a couple of BPM mics on closeout if you are still looking for a BPM mic, it might help you. Just go to www.pmiaudio.com and click on the PMI Closeout link.

Now don't anyone here say I am selling or Spamming. This guy asked about BPM, and I am not trying to turn him into anything else, so you better just not go there on this one...:eek:

Thanks Alan you were very helpful.
In fact, I live in Paris ( not too far from Germany) where I was originally shopping for a Neuman TLM103 or something when the
vendor in this shop suggested this mic.
I did test it against a AKGC3000B(I have the older C3000) big difference in sound and in price.
However, compared to the Neuman, I don't know
This guy said it was just as good as the Neuman TLM103 but about 100 US less.
Thanks again for insight.
Ronnie,

Salut db51,
Non, je ne suis pas Français.
Mais, Parisien depuis un sacré bout de temps.
I suppose you understand how buying gear here can sometimes
require a bit of verification.
All the Best,
Ronnie,

Ronnie,

Sorry, I did not realize that, so even better. I would check out the TB10. I think it is a fine microphone. There is also the TB100 you can look at. Service will not be an issue for you, so I would look at them and give them consideration. Tell UDO I say hello.

No harm done Alan,
The information is indeed useful.
I still live pretty far from China. :)
Cheers,
Ronnie
 
Spam or not, Alan seems to be the only one who spoke up at length about the mic. So, a small price to pay for teeny can-o-Spam? I think so!--Rock On, Stinky

Damn Stinky, what kind of Spam are you talking about. Every damn mic I spoke about was a BPM! I did not mention any of my mics. Did I say the BPM was bad? Did I promote Studio Projects? Man, you and Tom Cram have an issue my friend...

There was no spam at all, so get over it already

Made in Germany is different than German made, you could in fact have a German born assembler living in China. If you researched out each and every supplier that contributes to the manufaturer of a mic, you might find it hard to call it anything other than human made microphones.

Whats the hourly rate for a German Assembler verses the hourly rate for a Chinese Assembler? How long does it take to make a microphone? Whats the Percentage difference?


I know...its a side issue but...I had to say it anyway.

Peace,
Dennis
 
I used to sell Schafer and Son's pianos about 10 yrs ago and part of their pitch was being a proud American company. Although the pianos were actually just rebranded Samicks. They even had a big "Made in Korea" right on the harp. When customers noticed this we would say "Well, just the harp was made in Korea." ;)
 
! I did not mention any of my mics. Did I say the BPM was bad? Did I promote Studio Projects?
