Dynamic Saxophone Microphone

Excellent mic
I've been using this for gigging and recording at home for the last few years. I'm very happy with it.
It has sturdy construction, great quality sound, minimal feedback.
I would say it has a warm sound, certainly warmer than most clip on mics perhaps because it is dynamic not condenser.
It does pick up some of the pad sounds on my sax but MUCH less than the condensers, for gigging this is not noticeable, for recording just clip it to a stand.
Best sax mic so far
We've tried Shure, AKG, and few others, but SDS dynamic capsule does the job far better than anything else! Fat and powerful sound with yet clean and crispy signal. The shock mount does a great job and the dynamic capsule solved a lot of the trouble with stage noise. Very quiet and detailed focused on the instrument itself and not so much on the stage. It was a big problem with the condenser capsule especially with the drum kit... now is quiet in the in ear monitors! Great microphone that suits all kind of instruments we are using: tenor, alto and soprano!
