Small Wind Ensemble Instrumentation

I've used this mic for a small ensemble on a gospel project...clear, noise-free, and rich sounding...I made a wise choice!

Fits like a glove with anything I have in my travel ensemble.

a great closely MICed string ensemble. great for small orchestra work. Definetly a learning curve to figure things out, but rewards when you do.

I am using this to mic an oboe in live, small ensemble performances in loud, noisy venues, like background music at an upscale function. It is highly directional, and therefore easy to slide on or off mic as the situation requires. The attached clip, when fastened to a music stand shelf, can position the head perfectly about even with the right hand, which gives a good boost without the harshness you'd get bell-mic-ing. I won't say it's a world-class recording microphone, both because I wouldn't know one if it hit me with a brick and because that's not the use to which I put it. For use with acoustic instruments in a live setting, and considering the relatively low price, I would think it's about the best you're going to find.

Strong and study, so many uses. Great item to your ensemble.

I am a drummer and bought two of these mics for my overhead mic setup. They pick up the instrumentation very well...better than I thought. No tom mics, just snare, bass drum mics and overheads for the recording I was doing and the final product came out very well.

Can’t be beat for the price. The sub completes the ensemble perfectly

No big deal, but the instrumentation of this item can be intimidating. Once set up with a bit of patience it works well. As my kids realized the planet does not stay still.

Excellent sound quality for such a small microphone, even in the wind.

On location is great. Small until you need it. Just hope for no wind and an assistant.
