You see, I thought this case worked like AirPods. You put them in when you’re done, and the case charges up the device. This cardioid condenser microphone is actually designed for guitars, but don’t let that scare you away – we can confidently say that saxophone players who need a wireless mic will also appreciate how well it works for their horns. The receiver unit is also compact and simple to operate. The sender on the microphone arm holds a single AAA battery which is generally good for a couple of shows or rehearsals. There is an indicator light to tell you when the battery is low – very important! Each person will need to choose their own channel that doesn’t conflict with another performer. This way, you don’t have to worry about the vocalist coming through your sax wireless system or vice versa.

There is no compromises when it comes to audio quality. NUX B-6 delivers professional, high-resolution 24-bit/44.1kHz audio, and the frequency response range is 20Hz - 20kHz. Some clip-on mics also give saxophone players the option of connecting to a standard microphone lead which can sometimes be really handy.Since we recorded this video, I have used this NuX microphone on about a dozen gigs on pretty large stages for audiences of hundreds of people. It’s definitely the most balanced, and it really surprised me with how good it actually sounds and its overall design. As you spend more on your wireless saxophone microphone system, you will generally see improvements in two areas. Firstly, you get a better microphone, which means a wider dynamic mic range and a smoother rounder sound. The NUX B-6 wireless system for saxophones has three dedicated modes. Each mode comes with an optimal EQ curve for the soprano saxophone, the alto saxophone and the tenor Saxophone. To switch among different modes, simply press the POWER/SCENE button on the transmitter. So on the last song of my 5th concert in a row, the battery died while I was playing a solo. At the time, I just thought my monitor had stopped working.

Condenser vs. Dynamic Microphones. Condenser microphones are a little more touchy than dynamic mics. They often come with omnidirectional or cardioid polar patterns just like the Shure GLXD14R/B98 and the Shure BLX14R/B98 Mic system. Dynamic mics are designed a little differently and are generally not as good for the saxophone sound. I’m pretty satisfied with the sound quality of the microphone and have not had a single issue with the signal dropping. The transmitter of NUX B-6 comes with a flexible yet sturdy rubber-wrapped clamp mechanism. It can be attached to the bell of different types of saxophones firmly.The GLX-D Advanced can connect to nine different channels under typical conditions but is capable of connecting to eleven under optimal conditions (that is, with only a few other competing wireless signals surrounding it.) My second event was an indoor gig. The mic worked flawlessly. I was able to interact with the crowd and play without a thought of the system. I was very pleased. The unit is light and secures to my horn well. I plugged the receiver directly into my Boss VE20 and also tried it directly into my Bose L1 Pro8. Both ways worked well.

Whereas the Samson mic attaches to the sax bell with a spring clamp, the AMT Q7 has a very secure mounting system with a thumb screw. This makes a much more positive and strong connection which is welcome if you are an energetic performer! Joining me for this video is my friend Michael Ghegan whom I met while he was on tour with Super Tramp.Choosing a wireless saxophone microphone that has excessive interference or dropout issues. Interference can occur when there are other electronic devices or wireless systems operating in close proximity, causing disruptions in the audio signal. Dropout refers to moments when the audio signal completely cuts out, resulting in silence or intermittent sound during your performance. Select a wireless saxophone microphone that has advanced frequency scanning and diversity reception capabilities, which help minimize interference and dropout issues.

These days there are a bunch of good and great wireless saxophone microphone systems on the market for sax players. Although they vary in quality and durability, all will make your live playing much more comfortable and give you that “sax god” feeling.Battery life: The unit came fully charged so and has lasted more than four hours. I did turn it off between sets. I will definitely be charging it before the next gig. After Michael recorded on each mic, we blindfolded him so he wouldn’t know which one we were listening to.
