Classical String Instruments Trio Vs Quartet

Used for violin solos and string quartet recordings with XY stereo technique, connected to Zoom H6 so far. Base noise is low, and high frequency pick up is impressive. For the price, it is a great deal. Highly recommended.

I'm amazed that people still get excited when the see a carbon boom. I just finished a two day concert with a string quartet and the K tek booms were the hit of the crew.

Works very well on my Cordoba nylon string classical guitar. Firm pressure, grip is effective but doesn't damage anything. Easy to use.

I'm a jazz guitarist playing an 8-string classical guitar that goes higher and lower than a regular guitar. It has a K & K pickup and I my amp is a JBL EON powered speaker, which, for this instrument sounds better than any jazz guitar amp. I have used the Zoom A-3 preamp as well as an L.R. Baggs Venue DI. They are both very good but I'd say the Grace Alix is the best I've found. It has great features you can read about but I must say that the sound of my guitar with the EQ set flat is strong, clear and simply amazing! It's very well thought out. Worth the price.

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.

This mic sounds very nice for vocals, plucked string instruments, and woodwind instruments (at least that's what I've tried it on). I highly recommend it!

nothing bad to say about this one. affordable, good sound. I use it to record a bunch of instruments and different voices, works for everything. I even record classical voice with it! love it!

The C3000 is my main mic, I use it on acustic instruments as Classical, Acustic and Portuguese Guitar,and also on Vocals and as a room mic. It sounds closer to what you hear in the room then any other mic, with a smooth top end to help you to get warm vocals.

Turn the trio into a stand alone flash!!; with the co-pilot I can use the X5dR as the main - and the Trio off to the side (off the camera) as the fill. Really turns the Trio into a much more useful tool. The Trio now can go on a stand, or in someone's hand. Possibilities are endless. Great price also.

A quick way to not string cables across the stage.
