ive a 46L a try, considering the glowing
reviews and the great prices at Shiny Box.
I used the 46L on my soprano sax. Now, one of the reasons I
started getting involved in recording in the first place was the
frustraton I experienced whenever I played soprano in the
studio. It always sounded thin- and then I learned about mic
technique, and could get the occasional engineer to mic from the
side as well as on the bell. That was better, but until I
shelled out 700 bucks for an SD System set-up, it wasn't great.
Until now, I would use the SD double-side-mic system, plus put
a Rode Classic mic on the bell. That's 3 mics, $2000.
I used the 46L about a foot off the bell, with the SD system as
well. I was absolutely blown away, and then I realized my
brilliant oversight: I FORGOT TO TURN ON THE SD MIC!!! The
gorgeous, full, detailed, soaring sound I heard was one $300 mic
