Gamelan Percussion Instruments

This is a work horse mic used by every sound engineer to record any type of instruments:brass, percussion, etc.

the E-Percussion Module Mount by Alesis is the perfect part i was looking for....

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

Great replacement lamp for all of our instruments.

Haven't used them yet , but am sure they will securely hold my instruments down .

What else can be said about the 57? Instruments, vocals, everything.

I can finally hear the voices on documentaries. The foreground music and drama percussion would drown it out.

I am using this mic for vocals and handheld percussion. It is fantastic. But be careful not to overdrive it, as it is very sensitive.

I use for orchestra percussion overhead and that do a great job bringing in everything from xylophone to triangle

In my project studio I record various acoustic instruments such as guitar, upright bass and violin. I also record vocals and various hand percussion. I have traditionally used small condensers such as Neumann KM 184's and AKG C451-B's but was craving the sound that only a large diaphragm can deliver. I love AKG products especially those built in Vienna. So far have only used the 214 on vocals, acoustic guitar and middle eastern percussion and it more than met my expectations. I love the AKG sound. To me AKG's are not as transparent as Neumann BUT that is what I dig about it..it brings a bit of color and an openness. At the price point..this is a must have mic..you can never go wrong with AKG
