A: The Blue Snowball iCE is a great mic but it's mono and ideal for voice-overs or podcasts. I would highly recommend you consider the Zoom IQ7 (B&H# ZOIQ7). It has the ability to connect directly to the lighting port of your iPhone and record high quality stereo audio.

A: You may calculate your actual shipping options/order totals by adding the items you want to a shopping cart. It will then list the shipping options, descriptions, ETA's and fees to your location.

Q: 9. How would recording brass instruments sound, such as a French horn which has a tendency to have mic distortion, wind-pop and boom when recorded?

A: The Snowball is designed mainly as a podcast mic and tailored toward speech, however also works well for basic music recording. With French Horn in particular, it is rarely close miked at the bell as that is not the intended sound of the instrument. In this regard, from a distance, should not distort the mic. For quality instrument recording a higher quality mic would be recommended such as the Blue Yeti, https://bhpho.to/2k0Nlv0 or Rode NT-USB. https://bhpho.to/2k505oH

[Cardioid] VERY STURDY MIC STAND. WELL BUILT. SHOULD LAST YEARS. 5

[Mono] I am using this for an interior audio set-up on a boompole. The quality of the mic is great with a warm tone. I recommend purchasing with the kit to save money. The wood case is nice but I would've preferred a more durable Pelican style case which I ended up purchasing separately and leaving the wood case in storage. 5

[Phantom Power] We have two of these wonderful mics. We use them to amplify our choir. 5

[Cardioid] Coming from using a Rode NTG2 as a dialog mic for short films, the Audix SCX1/HC is an amazing upgrade. Compared to the NTG2, it's night and day. This mic captures clear, almost noise-free dialog. Really all I can say is Wow! It is the real deal for professional quality voice recording. I can't imagine that I'd ever need to replace this with anything else. This is the first piece of video or audio hardware that's ever truly exceeded my high expectations! 5

[Cardioid] Just picked one up for our documentary work. Can't go wrong with this mic, fantastic for indoor dialogue. Excellent quality. Audix has great customer service too! Always nice to buy a local, US product too :) 5

[Phantom Power] After doing a lot of research and really fretting over what the right solution would be for miking (mic'ing?) our small choir, I was convinced to give these mics a try after reading a couple of positive blogs and reviews. Was not disappointed - definitely a good solution when it comes to miking a choir. 5

[End Address] These microphones are incredible. Very well priced especially when you buy the kit. I did lots of research and these were the best value of the highest quality. They shipped very quickly and came with everything I needed to plug and start using. Would recommend to any church or venue needing a high quality option without breaking the bank. 5

[18 to 52 V] I have only used SCX1-HC on one job so far, but have been using it in testing procedures along with sound devices PRE MIX 6, so my experience with it is limited. As of now it is great sounding Microphone. It's off-axis pick up is not as limited as I expected. My 416 might sound a bit richer and so forth, but using it on interior interviews in poor acoustics I get a echo - that is why I bought the SCX1-HC and it has not been a disappointment. It is a crisp, rich sounding microphone that will cut through music and sfx. So far I have not experienced with any RF problems or any issues, but again I have only used on a limited basis. I did do research before I made the purchase and sure - there are better microphones out there, for twice the price or 3-4 times the price. In those instances when the project calls for that I always hire a sound person anyway and let them worry about the sound. For simple projects where I want better sounding audio than just using LAV microphones this performs well. I might also add AUDIX's customer service is great and it is US made which is a plus for support. As always BH has been great to work with and even got me the SCX1-HC quickly though the manufacture. 5

[Phantom Power] We are using these condenser microphones for a 20 member church choir. The product literature was very helpful for us in assembly and future modifation of our sound system. The sound technician and I also liked the on-line tutorials that Audix posted. 5

Khaled A.	28/04/2024
[Mono] I had my doubts about this one since all other recommended hypercardioids are far more expensive, and to be honest I didn't hear about Audix before, but I gave it a shot anyways because I needed a boom mic so badly after I realized NTG3 don't perform as good indoors. It sounds full, way less echo than what I was getting with the NTG3, not flat (Or too much highs) like the sm58 or H6, beautiful lows, I'm even using it t record voice overs too, You get the studio and Radio sound with this mic. The build quality is amazing, the packaging wooden box is luxurious. But I noticed it's really sensitive, so if you're thinking about swinging it from the end of a boom pole than you really need a good blimp or otherwise you'll get those nasty wind clippings, even with the included foam screen. 5
