Stringed Symphonic Instruments Crown

Perfect. My children can now practice their stringed instruments at their desks or any table without having to set up a regular sized music stand. We love the fact that it is manufactured in the USA.

One of the great things about MOTU Symphonic Instruments is that it runs on G4 processor, and even on 256MB of RAM. Consequently, on the even the cheapest of the modern laptops (just like my 2MB Mac Air Intel i5) it works smoothly and loads all the instruments instantly. To me it's the best thing ever to run software release in 2006 on a 2012 computer, because it just runs great. And the sounds are simply breathtaking. Even the concert piano is mind blowing, really lending itself for classical piano playing in real time from my digital piano keyboard. And the price could not be better with B&H special discount offers. I took advantage of the discount, and I am a very happy camper now. Oh, and the authorization process with iLok is very good. I installed MOTU Symphonic Instruments on two computers, and to run it, I simply insert the iLok USB dongle, and voila. It's simply great.

The Synchron interface is SO much easier to use (than the former Vienna Symphonic Instruments plugin). Sound quality and playability are impeccable.

Listen to jazz & Symphonic music. Great sound

Action is very close to a stringed piano pedal. Holds the notes well. Great product and price

Right up front...I am NOT an audio professional, nor even particularly an audiophile. I do not have sophisticated playback equipment. That said, I am a professional symphonic musician with more than a half century of experience. To my ears, on my equipment, these sound a little biased towards the high end, but they are sturdily built, well balanced one-to-the-other, and not particularly fussy about exact placement. I find them more than adequate, and far more than I expected for this sort of money. The shock-mounts, windshields, and hard case are welcome extras. In short, knowing what I know now, I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

I use these for portraits and most recently to take portraits of a high school symphonic band. The strobes were at full power due to the distance and the umbrella provided a very nice, uniform light over the whole band. For portrait work they provide great catch lights, and when used with a diffusion panel, a soft even light. I really like how the spokes are hidden by the inner cover. I would diffidently recommend this product.

Excellent clarity for a 100 member symphonic band recording mic. Very pleased with the purchase.

Well made, exactly what I needed for my Crown Audio XLC 2800 Amplifier.
