Plastic Low 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

Used it with the Sennheiser ew100 G3 and it was excellent outside. Low roll off killed wind noise and extraneous sound from nearby equipment was minimal while picking up the interviewee's voice cleanly. Would highly recommend this mic.

Cons: plastic construction Pros: Low price High quality discrete audio files Excellent pre-amps for the money Multiple connection options (xld, mini, etc.) Phantom power alkaline or usb powered good form factor. I really like this unit and how it fits between my tripod and my camera when I'm shooting solo. Sure, you could complain that it doesn't have onboard mics, but that's not what it's for. If you need that, get a zoom or other handheld recorder. The plastic body won't take much abuse so you do need to treat it carefully and it's battery hungry on phantom power (no surprise there) but it runs a long time on external USB power and the dual stereo function is worth it's weight in gold, in my humble opinion.

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.

Low price, well built.

Low price and more convenient.
