Shure PGA98H-XLR Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Instrument Microphone with 15' XLR-XLR Cable

I wasn't sure how well this would work for me as a trumpet player in a band. I was far more than pleased with the final product. Using my horn as a microphone, I no longer have to keep it pointed at it. Instead, the mic goes wherever my horn goes. With the sound system in place, I've been freed up to move around the stage and my sound quality is incomparable. I highly recommend this book from a trumpet player.

I purchased the pickup to use with my resonator guitar (the onboard piezo was junk, and other pickups just did not capture the resonator biscuit). It is hard to understand how you can play that guitar style without knowing what you are playing). I was able to use this Shure mic to record the interview. The sound is pretty clear and authentic, way better than some other little mini-sites During strumming, you may be unable to clip it in place to keep it out of the way of preamp and acoustic pickups. If using it for a guitar, you may struggle to clip it in place so that it remains secure. I worked out some of my ideas on my pictures (you can see them). There is no doubt it is well built for professional usage. The condenser will not break, but you don't want to drop it. This microphone is definitely worth a try. The following cons are the only ones Please note - There is still room for improvement, just a little bit louder- There might be a slight improvement in cost if Shure was not attached to it (it costs some $ for the name). There is no denying that an XLR barrel is heavy. As if it were a tank, it is well built. The socket will likely last longer that way, but the mic wire is relatively thin, so you have to be careful not to put too much pressure on it.

I play in a cover band about twice a month on tenor saxophone. A mic like this should not have made much of a difference, but it actually loved being able to move around and not have to adjust a mic stand every time I put it on. I had no idea what sound equipment I was getting, but Shure is a trusted brand and it was a fair price. It sounds amazing, and I would definitely recommend it. After debating between a wired and a wireless connection, I chose the wired option due to the difference in price. I can still move about the wire even if it is restricted. I have enough length to meet my needs even on the wire. Any other sax players that do not know much about sound gear might be interested to know that condenser microphones do In addition to the phantom power source, you would have to add an additional fee (less than $20 for a cheap one) unless your mixer includes one. It is a great microphone that I can see myself using for a long time. I highly recommend it to any saxophone player interested in better sound quality with.

The pickup was great. The sound is crystal clear. The neck is not affected by handling noise. Coloration isn't very intense Does not sound offensive. Prior to this, I was using an AT that was a little potent in the lowest register- A more balanced perspective is presented here. Despite the great features of AT mics, I believe this one to be better.

The product arrived on time, and I took it out of the box right away. While the cord to the microphone was very thin, I refused to let it stop me from using it. After hooking up my amplifier and horn, I was ready to go! Not even a sound, I've gone over the instructions, and nothing. Eventually, I read some of the other reviews and discovered that phantom power is necessary. As a result, I had to buy a phantom device, and the sound was excellent! In retrospect, I would have bought the more expensive wireless model if it did not require phantom power. It would have been better for them to lead with that in their advertisement.

Using it successfully for a cello and a flute in front of over 1500 people in a live setting is really simple, you just have to spend a little bit of time trying to figure out which position is ideal to be able to avoid The EQ in this microphone is easy enough to do even when the cello's frequencies change and the flute's high ones. It will need to be attached to a flute with a hose clamp and then covered in felt to prevent damage. In my case, I used a hose clamp that was covered in felt so it didn't damage Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

It produces some The trumpet and alto sax are also used with it. The only issue I have with it is that I am unable to use my plunger mute to the full extent while it is attached to the bell because of the thickness of the clip. TA4M to XLR male converters are hard to find, and they are very pricey this is my next complaint, which isn't so much about this mic. In the past, I had hoped that this could be directly plugged into my audio interface, but the cost of the adapter has caused me to think it's better to buy the XLR model (and.

Probably the best clip of all time This is the best value mic for tenor sax, and I use it for that purpose. With a mic tube preamp, I can supply phantom power to the mic while giving the sound some warmth and edge. I like how convenient it is. The preamp sends the signal to my pedal board, where it is sent to my amplifier. is equipped with a clip on the XLR so you can attach it to your pocket to hide the small cable. I've had a lot more fun playing to an electronic mic than to a static one. Unfortunately, you can't adjust the mic proximity, but I'm willing to give up clarity for the sake of flexibility.
