There are many different ways of capturing sound for video recordings and all of them have their advantages and disadvantages. The t.bone Sync 1 pretty much avoids all the disadvantages: it is cheaper than RF systems offered by other brands, sounds much better than the integrated mics on mobile phones or cameras - and of course transmits wirelessly via radio waves, making it extremely flexible in use since it does away with the hassle of tangled cables. In addition, it is small, light and easy to transport, all the more so since a soft case is provided in which all its equipment and accessories can be stored. The latter consist of a TRS cable for connecting the receiver to a camera or computer, a TRRS cable for connecting to a mobile phone, a separate lavalier mic and two dedicated windshields, one for the transmitter’s integrated mic and the other for the lavalier mic. Finally, a split USB A to 2x USB C cable is provided, allowing the transmitter and the receiver to be charged simultaneously from a single socket.
A charging time of 1.5 hours allows the system to run for about 5 hours, which is sufficient for extended filming sessions – during which you can take full advantage of its impressive transmission range of roughly 50m, when the transmitter and receiver are within direct line-of-sight. This makes for great outdoor recordings without any sound loss. And even if obstacles are present between transmitter and receiver, the system will still work just fine up to a distance of 30m. Though the transmitter’s integrated microphone is the simplest and most direct option for sound recording, the t.bone Sync 1’s package also includes a separate lavalier microphone which can be placed inconspicuously on a collar and comes with its own windshield. The overall system latency is only 12.5ms, well below the duration of a single video frame, even when filming at 60fps – the sound is thus seamlessly integrated into the picture. The receiver is equipped with a dedicated volume output which can be adjusted in four distinct steps as well as a headphone output, useful for direct monitoring.
The t.bone Sync 1 is perfectly suited to hobbyists and social media filmmakers who generally film one person at a time. If your camera equipped with a hot shoe, then just fix the receiver onto it and the audio can then be recorded straight to the camera via the provided mini-jack cable. Of course, this same cable can also be connected to a mobile recorder, mixing console and of course to a computer. The transmitter and its mic can of course also be placed anywhere you want. However, it generally stays attached to the person being recorded, and, weighing only 35g, is hardly a burden. Alternatively it can be tucked away on your belt thanks to its clip and then the inconspicuous lavalier microphone can be used, discreetly placed on your lapel.
Since 1994, the t.bone has been part of Musikhaus Thomann’s in-house brands. Devices such as headphones, wireless systems, in-ear equipment as well as various microphones and matching accessories are marketed under the name. ‘the t.bone’ products are built exclusively by well-known manufacturers, who also work for many other well-known brands. This provides a clear advantage: brand quality products at very reasonable prices. And word gets around: one in seven Thomann customers has already bought at least one product from the t.bone.
If you use the transmitter’s mic outdoors, we recommend using the dedicated windshield. This hairy little dude is included in the package and is simply fitted over the transmitter's mic to reduce wind noise, and still allows speech and other sound sources to be recorded without being affected. The windshield is easy to remove after use. To avoid losing it or forgetting it in your pocket, you should immediately be put it away in its case. The lavalier microphone has its own foam protector that fits snugly and should only be removed indoors for cleaning purposes. A switchable Low-Cut Filter is present on the transmitter to reduce low frequency interference, such as the hum of passing vehicles.
The transmitter and receiver are provided with clips that fit on a belt - however they are also designed to fit the hot shoe of a camera. You can therefore choose whether to record the sound directly to the camera, or, if you choose to attach the receiver to your belt, the audio can be captured separately onto the recording device of your choice – even to a mobile phone in your pocket. Of course, the receiver can also be placed next to your computer and the audio recorded from there. The volume output of the receiver can be adjusted in four steps. Each click on the volume button increases the volume which then goes back to the lowest level after reaching the highest.
