Army Field Band Instrument Demonstration

I freakin love this light, and I'm ordering a second one when B and H opens up. My local army navy store had some non-stretch nylon (which I would recommend as the top band does not want to give). In my pictures you will see how my local shoe store sewed an X-box to the flexy band. This 500 lumen thing is really comfortable now. Now all the raccoons will run from me on my nightly walks with my blind Jack Russell. Notice the picture taken with a 5D mk3 and 14mm lens also ordered from B and H. Yes I am addicted to B and H, they've mesmerized me with their easy listening music when I'm on hold. Surefire: would buy it all DAY LONG!

Wow, this works really well. I bought it for the band at our church. Makes it very easy for someone who plays an instrument and sings to have a decent in-ear monitor without spending a fortune. Very solid all-metal construction. Setup and use are very simple; the diagrams & labels silk-screened onto the top make it easy to see what should plug in where. As a nice additional touch, it doubles as a direct box for the instrument input. I highly recommend the optional MSC106 mic stand adapter if you're using this on stage. Only drawback is that you need a long cable or an extension for your ear monitor / headphones. If you mount this on a mic or music stand, you don't have a lot of room to move. We'll be buying a mix of these and the 1-channel PM50s to move our whole band to in-ear monitors.

We use a snake combining vocal mic, instrument mics, D.I.s, and monitor cables for each band member, running to their area of the stage from the stage digital mixer, and this product makes it easy to customize those changes and change out cables when necessary.

If anyone in your band wants more me control of their in-ear foldback for both their vocals and an instrument (or two instruments), then this is THE box for them! Ok so it costs more than the 2 channel competition, but this has the essential 3rd channel the others lack, plus an integral stereo DI box, so the total cost is much the same. What is really nice is the way it can be set for mono or stereo inputs on both the instrument channel and the main foldback. The cct diagram even contains instructions to convert the mic channel for line level inputs. A really useful box, and a much better buy in real terms than the competing products, for use by real musicians!

The Zoom H5 is a quality instrument, with many advanced capacities above the the 4n. We put it through the motions in the field at a horse farm; with boom feed in, and output right into the camera for back up. Then studio under controlled audio conditions. The Zoom H5 performed magnificently.

I’ve been using this for field recording and grabbing instrument samples around the apartment. Upgraded from a Zoom H5 and the difference is quite dramatic. Even small things like the UI menus are laid out well. The preamps are very very detailed, and work well with any mic I can throw at them. Shotguns, small condensers, various contact mics, $10 radio shack lavs from the 80s, all sound very upfront and full. The ability to link channels in L/R or M/S is great. The polywav workflow is not the annoyance that I thought it would be, since it actually makes previewing and organizing much easier. The only serious annoyance is that the headphone knob also doubles as the data entry, which can be tough to reach sometimes.

Great display. I use the product as a demonstration platform for my product

It certainly do be adapting. I use to put a field recorder or a camera on a microphone stand to record my band

I bought two for recording guitar and some band concerts. So far I have worked with these on acoustic guitar, stereo and mono mic'd, both near field and far field. To me, these mics sound incredibly clear and accurate. Zero noise that I can detect. I am really pleased with these. They sound much better than the Shure SM57 and noticeably better then my AT3035 LDC mics. I have had no problems. I run them at 0dB and with the 80Hz filter on. These are feeding a Presonus interface and a Mac running Logic Express 9. It's a dream set-up.

I use this mic for Garage band and my podcast Devoted Witness and had no problems in the field. I am amazed at the quality, It has good weight and a crisp sound. the only down is hand noise when holding it. awesome price awesome quality. -Pastor John
