Horn mics, clip on style.

Re: Horn mics, clip on style.

AT Pro35's sound fine to me. You will have to train the players to put the connector in their pocket and tape some strain relief on the cables.
 
Re: Horn mics, clip on style.

Agreed. The Pro35 is a versatile little mic. I've used them on violins/violas (clipped to the chin rest), brass of all types. A little EQ usually takes care of anything I don't like.

And if they haven't gone up in the last year, $129 each hits the price mark as well.

It looks like they are currently about $110 at B&H plus about $4 for shipping. This sounds like a really great deal for someone needing some horn mics. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ..._PRO_35CW_Pro_35cW_Instrument_Microphone.html

That link is for the body pack version, not the XLR/power module one, which seems to be a bit more money. I used a couple of these at the request of the band this past weekend, and they worked like a charm for trumpet and trombone. I would usually grab an RE20 or MD421 for these instruments, but the A-Ts sounded fine, had no trouble with feedback from the monitors, and didn't need mic stands on the very crowded stage. I may have to investigate buying some myself. GTD
 
Re: Horn mics, clip on style.

I don't mean to threadjack so let me know if I should post separately. If one were looking for a multipurpose clip on mini-condenser to use on everything from horns to violin to cello to tom drums what would be the choice. Similar budget idea to the $150 that Matt mentioned. I've looked at all of those mentioned in this thread on the manufacturer's sites, but am looking for some words of experience from you guys.

Thanks,

Loren,

My reply doesn't change, still a Pro 35. Just like a Pro 37 could be considered a swiss army knife of mics, the Pro 35 is similar. Is it the BEST at anything. Probably not. Is it very GOOD at a whole lot of different things. Absolutely. And the price is right.


Adding to the arsenal of tricks, the head of the mic is just head into the boom by the friction of the windsock. It is simple to remove the boom to play "stash a mic" like you would with a lav, except this is hardwired.

I don't remember if I used these personally in the past or not, but the Countryman Isomax 2's are worth a look. Multiple clip options, very small.
 
Re: Horn mics, clip on style.

Thanks Jay and Caleb,

The Countryman looks nice with its tiny size, but it is quite a bit more money. Hope we can pick up a few Pro35's and try them out.
