Upright Bass Microphone

Works fine with the Audix ADX20i mic on my upright bass

I am using the INV-6 on my upright bass (the mic is an old Sony ECM-23F back-electret mic and the INV-6 is monted to an ExplorAudio H-Clamp SPIRIT Mic mount. The INV-6 does its job of shock absorption VERY well and at the same time doesn't stick out as far as the spider type shock mounts.

This is my second L1. I run them in stereo from the mixer. Vocal, upright bass, keyboard and drums. Clear and clean sound.

I am a bassist that plays a fretless electric upright bass and sings background vocals in several bands. Because I have to look at my fingerboard regularly to check my intonation, it's hard to use a traditional stand-mounted mic. I got a Shure SM-35 headworn condenser mic (phantom power required), but needed a way to turn the mic off when I was not singing. After looking at several switches, I bought this one and used it at a gig last night. It worked exactly as advertised - no noise, no popping, no problems. The only issue I had was a difficulty plugging in the mic itself - the input on the Power Mute was very tight and it took a rather strong attempt to get the XLR connector in to make a good connection and locked. It could just need a break-in period, but that was the only problem I had with it.

I installed this on top of an old atlas mic stand to get a better reach across my upright bass. Works great and not hard on the wallet. Whats not to like!

I'm a bass player and switch between a Upright and Electric Bass during or gigs. And would get feed back from the Uprights piezo pickups. The two channels on the DPDB allows me to use the two thru bypass line outs to my A/B switch to send one line to my Amplifer and Two XLR sends to our PA Mixer. With a better quailty signal going to the Mixer we don't get the feed back. And it gives me a channel for each of my instruments in the mixer so we don't have to change the volume levels when I change from one instrument to the other.

I am using this to Mic an upright piano and this is the richest microphone I've ever heard that didn't use tubes. Only bad thing is that the provided stand adapter immediately scratched the surface.

B & H Photo is outstanding, ... If you buy anywhere buy from this store! and also the Microphone is drop dead great, the bass is great, the tones are quality. THX really made a great choice, buy it!

Recommend future models be able to turn the monitor upright.

I bought this microphone for my project recording studio needing something affordable with a warm rich tone. I was not disappointed. The V67G has a FET preamp inside the body and it has a very tube-like nature to it; the harmonic content is rich but not in an obtrusive way. The bass proximity effect is a little over-powering at times, but by simply using some bass roll-off in the EQ stage of the channel strip can help that. The looks of the microphone are impressive as well - I think my clients will appreciate that as well as the tone of the recordings through it. I've so far used it on vocals only but I definitely see myself using it on acoustic guitars as well. This particular model was not billed as being able to handle high SPL very well, so I might not go to the extent of using it to mic my 4x12 cab but it's primarily designed for vocals. The price is incredible and well within reach of any studio budget, large or small.
