This is an excellent microphone for wind instruments! The sound quality is great. There is a built-in shock mount for suppressing key noise from the saxophone, or other instrument. This is designed for mounting on the bell of the saxophone, but I was also able to clip it onto a headband so that it would work for miking flute and voice. I still haven’t developed a way to clip it to a clarinet,, but I am working on it! (The wood bell of the clarinet is too thick for the clip). Shure makes sturdy products, and so I am hoping that this will last. Admittedly, the cable is thin; so I have coiled the cable, then I clip the connector to my belt, using the attached clip. This way, you can use a heavier cable for routing this to an amplifier. The specs are very good for this mike, and it has a very tight cardiod pattern, so it will not feed back as long as it is very close to your instrument.

Value for money. Excellent sound reproduction for the saxophone

watching all my favorite videos with sax and horn players, i researched what clip on microphone they were using. this is the microphone, there’s a wireless model also that’s made for use with wireless system (not familiar ).
the sound is amazing, im also using a yamaha usb mixer that has effects and it’s been a lot of fun. with delay and or reverb my sound is closer to what i hear playing by the pro horn players on cd’s and video’s. a nice step up on my sound quality of my sax. wouldn’t want to be with out it now.

I wanted something that wasn’t wireless but I also didn’t want to have a mic stand. With this it’s was perfect! Sounds great clips on to my accordion and I could move freely with out having to stand in front of a mic!

Great mic for alto sax!

I bought this mic for a unique use: to mic my didgeridoo while playing at loud events alongside a DJ. This mic picks up the wide frequency range of the didge without distortion, and without picking up the music I’m playing over. It’s perfect for the way I use it!

Does the job. Just have to be careful putting trumpet on stand not to forget to take the mic off first. Nice having the mic at a consistent distance from the bell for more consistent volume. Frees up movement as well for the performer.

Going with Shure, I knew I was picking a good brand that’s been in the space for years. Thanks to Amazon’s quick shipping Prime program, I got to try this thing out very quickly (it actually arrived the night of my gig). There is no setup, just plug and play. The thing sounds great, picking up a lot more of my sound than my old clip-on mic.
PROs:
– Lightweight, adjustable mic for my trumpet
– Clip seems strong, and the gooseneck adjuster allows me to perfectly curve the mic into my bell
– Nice pickup
– Clip on the XLR connector allows me to easily clip to my belt
CONs:
– Wire connecting XLR to mic seems a little…flimsy. Only time will tell how long it holds up.
– Cable is actually quite long. Long enough that I accidentally stepped on it from time to time. With a flimsy cable, I’ll have to be very careful.
Overall, love this mic (for a great price).

I stated in my previous review this mic has to be used in a quality recording space with great acoustics. However I was in error. I decided to try recording at my practice space which is better suited for practicing. Or so I thought. There was a drummer playing next to my space and the mic didn’t pick up the volume from his drums! I was happily surprised. And there is a metro train track that runs close by, you can actually hear the sound come through the walls, NOT picked up by this mic! This mic actually is more focused and isolated on the sound it picks up from your horn, as it only picks up the noise that is I would guess is within up to 2-3 feet from the mic. This mike is great for saxophones and I must add that you need to get a pre-amplifier that provides phantom power, 48Vr. I used the Grace 101 and got good results. I then hooked it up to my Zoom Q8 for the sax videos I did. Of course you want to get as good a quality recording space as possible, I am glad to say that the recording space does not have to be “soundproof” to get great results with this mic. And the condensed mic sound is a little warmer to my ears than the dynamic mic sound. I will add that if you put the mic to close to the bell you can hear the keys clicking if you are an “aggressive” sax player like I am.

Is not working and I pay over 200 for nothing

Ottimo microfono arrivato in tempo per il concerto.
Jose R. –
gutes Preis-Leistungs Verhältnis, besonders in der Tiefe beim Flügelhorn und in der Höhe bei der Trompete offenbaren sich die Stärken dieses Mikrofons – ist meines Erachtens definitiv den Aufpreis zum PGA98 wert.
