Orchestral Instruments In The Brass Family

Orchestral Essentials really says it all..

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

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 use this for scoring orchestral music for films.

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

The Korg Chromatic Orchestral Tuner exceeded my expectations and performs perfectly. I am very pleased.

brass works!

I like the brass construction.

I use this stand (one of five) for overhead miking various orchestral instruments and sections. It is tall enough, with the boom extended, to cover the high winds and strings in a band/orchestra, to supplement a center stereo pair and give better balance with the back row brass and winds. It is skinny enough to be unobtrusive placed in the middle of an orchestra or band. I found a suitable swivel at B&H to hang a stereo bar from a horizontal boom. A boom helps keep the microphones out of the way for video. If you don't need a 9' reach, the 40 reach of this stand might do the trick.

So small, handy, easy to use, great sound quality = perfect for orchestral auditions!!
