I would like to use one for whistle / flute/ singing.. so I can move about. Have any of you tried them? Are they any good? do you have to spend BIG money to get a good one? Is there a big difference between the various brands? slainte alison |

'Don't know what make or what outboard gear she prefers though. Have considered getting one myself because I'm not too good at aiming my mouth at a mic consistently. My guess is that since mics generally improve with the cost, so too will the headset variety. Good luck, and let us know what you do! Mooh. |

15 May 00 - 03:40 PM (#228341) Subject: RE: Head set microphones From: AKS We have been using AKG C420 Micro Mic for the whistle and it's been working more than adequately well. So I guess it should fit nicely for the flute also - with the odoe it's not good, it only picks up the reed. I know it is quite widely being used for vocals also, especially 'wirelessly'. Its sound is typically condenser-mic-like so some people would reject it for that, but again that's a matter of taste. The price of it here in Finland is some 200 euros, including headset and power adapter (phantom or battery), but I guess you can get it cheaper practically anywhere else. I suggest that you'd test - if only possible - more than one brand, not only for the sound but also for the comfortable 'sitting' of the headset. AKS |
