Big Band Wind Instruments

I use this mic to record string and wind (brass mostly) instruments.  The different patterns make it effective in a variety of spaces depending on whether you want to reject other sounds or include reflections.  Versatile and great sound quality.

I like wind instruments. This is that and so much more. Nice features make playing sound like the real thing. Tried it all but haven't used it as a midi controller yet

strong design and big wind. easy to use

I needed something to record band rehearsals and gigs. I wind up sticking it on a mic stand using the adapter from the accessory kit and putting it in the middle of the playing area. The H2N does a remarkably good job and is quite easy to use. I can easily share Mp3s with other band members or friends to discuss issues and, etc. So this has been a very useful tool.

This microphone is amazing and was a huge upgrade from what I had. I am using it to record our high school marching band and the recordings are so accurate and detailed, it’s near perfect. I record on top of press boxes in the open air most of the time where I have to deal with wind and, with the wind muff, it does a great job even without turning on the wind reduction. If there was one thing I wish it did better, it would be in the reproduction of the lower frequencies but that’s getting really picky. I am using this microphone on the Sony ZV-E10.

Bought the Rode VideoMic Pro shotgun to record our child's band performances, which includes outdoor performances - very few of which have been in calm weather. I find this wind cover does a great job of diminishing wind noise when recording in breezy conditions. Made for this microphone, it fits quite snugly and seems to be sonically transparent.

Used this for vocals and it makes a really big difference in quality than just direct through an interface. Can't wait to try this on other instruments.

slides on very nice. im not sure its making a big difference on wind.

A great multi-purpose dynamic mic, I use this small-sized, big-sounding tool for instruments and vocals alike. It obviously excels on the snare drum and on guitar cabinets, but I like the sound I get from it on various percussion, brass and lower-toned woodwind instruments. It doesn't have the shrill high-end crispness of a condenser, but you don't always need that. Overall, it sounds clean and strong, and adeptly resists feedback.
