New School Band Instrument List

This is the instrument-mic standard that others are judged by. There are far more expensive mics - mics that A-list performers could use (and could afford), and that some studio engineers might prefer. But ordinary working and gigging musicians are perfectly well-served by this $ gem.

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!

When I first got the camera, I filmed my daughter's high school band concert...and with the resolution, I felt like I was at a high quality concert..as if I were watching a high definition public television concert.

The bag is a Christmas present. It is well made and my grandson can use it for his smaller cameras at the New Engksd School of Phography in Boston.

New to the video-on-a-tripod school and realizing a need for a remote contol , this fits the bill perfectly. using on a canon xa20 is simple. the best part is the adjustable zoom rate.

I purchased this for our high school band concerts to mic the ensemble. Paired it with 8 others and did a great job. Audience loved the performance.

Our high school room is small, but high schoolers love a full band. Without the drumshields and lid, it's too loud for even high school kids. The lid made a huge difference by keeping sound from bouncing off the ceiling and back off the floor.

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.
