Can I use this mic for live performance on an instrument?

Since this doesn't have a -10 db Pad (the MXL990S has one of those) it may not work well on stage with rock bands. If you're doing jazz at decent volumes it's probably ok. This mic is really not good for guitar amp, snares or kick drums because it has no pad. At 128 DB SPL the mic will probably distort with snare and kick hits or loud guitar volumes. An SM57 is better for guitar amps, kick and snare.

You must have phantom power with you sound system, then yes you can use it for live performances.

when you have an amp such as this, you would not run it direct. It is better to mic it as you can get all kinds of variations depending on mic location and of course, amp settings. Instrument mics are pretty inexpensive on top of that. This amp is an incredible entry point into tube amps.

This microphone with the correct wire connecter and your keyboard take a microphone. You should not have a problem. I suggest not use for singing, it would be best for instruments. Why? Unless you speak or sing directly in it to get better quality sound. It is a very good microphone. I enjoy using it.

Sure. As long as your microphone has an 1/4 inch output (or an XLR to 1/4 inch adapter) and then just plug right into one of the two (instrument) inputs.

ive experimented with running my mic through my pedal board for recording and it seemed to work fine however I prefer to use the reverb settings from the recording program. I cant see why it wouldnt work live but like the other guy said, you would need to use 1/4'' cable for your microphone.

You need something that provides phantom power for this mic. It may be included in the recorder you are plugging into (or amp/speaker), but otherwise you will need a preamp for it.

I think it would record live music very well. Keep in mind it is directional so the majority of sound comes from the "super cardioid" pattern or field, and it's what's ahead of it and not as much to the extreme sides or behind the field that this mic is designed to pick up. Here is a URL to show images of a super cardioid field. http://www.google.com/search?q=Super+Cardioid&tbm;=isch&tbo;=u&source;=univ&sa;=X&ei;=wocbUvafEuahiQLR1IHQDA&ved;=0CDQQsAQ&biw;=1443&bih;=844 I think it would do well if you recorded the band positioning the camera and mic 20-30 feet away.

I have used this mic. with a mini disc recorder and it worked wonderfully! If your camera has the capability of stereo recording this mic. can be good depending on what type of videos / audio you want to record. It is an excellent mic. for unplugged music events, recitals and concerts. One thing you should not place this mic. close to you but at least 10 feet away from what you want to record.

you cant if it's stock, but you can mod it to handle an external mic. there are youtube videos explaining the mod. hope this helps!

This is a okay mike for live performances. It is a cheap version of the SM 58 which cost about $100.00. It is probably not the best mike for recording or other applications that require high quality. I suppose it depends on what you are podcasting. If you are streaming a live band you could use these for the vocals. It really depends on what you are using it for. I use mine for vocals at practice for live performances. I hope this helps.

you could and it would work , but I don´t know about the quality of the recording since that is only for monitoring purposes. If there is line out in your keyboard I would use that

It will work with just a mic., but it sounds better with a guitar or other input.

Most likely not. This is more for an in home studio recording. Additionally, the area around the mic that picks up voice rather small, you would need a mic for every 2-3 people.

Thank you for your inquiry. The Live 5 is intended as a guitar and vocal effects pedal. There are XLR and 1/4 inch inputs on the pedal for both of these devices. So to answer your question, yes if you were playing your piano separately, you could run your vocal microphone through this pedal to accompany your playing.

I don't think you are going to get good recordings of loud concerts with any recorder using this Mic. You would need a more professional device.

A good mic for performing, not sure about recording. I typically use a condenser mic for recording.

It's great for voice recording when attached to portable recording devices. However, if you're looking for a serious "studio quality" mic for musical applications, you should adjust your price range up and look elsewhere.
