Shure Mics For Recording Instruments

[Boundary] I was looking for a decent mic to use with my iPad for field recording of acoustic instruments and voices. I run a old-time acoustic jam and the iPad allows me to do minor editing on the spot. Had been using conventional xlr mics patched in through the earphone/mic jack, but was getting noise from the jack and background hum which was unacceptable. In shopping around, the MXL Tempo was the best value of mics which work with the iPad camera connection kit USB adapter. The mic works as advertised, right out of the box. No hum, even at high input levels, which means that instruments don't have to be right up on the mic, potentially bumping into it. The on- board earphone jack is handy, but the normal earphone jack on the iPad gives the best proof of recording quality since it is the true output. All around good product. MXL has a winner.

[Phantom Power] I bought two of these packages so I would have the two medium condenser mics along with some other medium and large condenser mics for up close recording of individual instruments and use the two pencil mics to capture the stereo image from back in the audience. These two mics in this package do not disappoint -- the aural quality and clarity is great and considering the price they are phenomenal.

[48 V] Great for recording voice and instruments

[0.36 lb] I use Shure KSM-141 mics in a live recording situation of bands. Shure's A53M shock mounts are small and compact, yet provide excellent suspension and shock protection.

[0.015 lb] Fits all of my Shure mics perfectly.

[Cardioid] use with my two shure mics, fits great!

Fits all of my Shure mics perfectly.

[2.95 lb] A great pair of mics. Fantastic for vocals and instruments.

[2x Internal] I bought SHURE 2 pack mics but the sound is better out of these mics

[Steel] Another good choice in wireless mics from Shure.
