Is this mic good for recording instruments like trumpet/saxophone?

Never really played Trumpet and Sax but I record Acoustic Guitar with it pretty often and I love the results. It is a very good microphone.

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.

I don't see why not. I have a instrument/vocal Sennheiser mic running to it. I turn the DB boost on and it boosts my vocal and instrument recordings. It doesn't add any hiss either. Just make sure you have the proper XLR cable and I'd say you should be fine.

This mic is a usb powered mic. Abd dont even bother getting it, its not very great for recording

Really depends on what you are using it for. Is it going to sound exactly like a Mesa Mark IV and 4 x 12 can? Nope. I use this for recording direct and practice. Has the best sound and versatility for the price.

It is really nice sounding. This is a PROFESSIONAL mic, so you can expect good things from it. But just to warn you, it doesn't come with the cords for the Mic, so you need to buy them separately. If you want to hear an example, here is my Soundcloud, so you can here the music I recorded with it.soundcloud.com/cashcheck

The microphone seems to be very good quality but I'm not sure if it will work well for your application.

I would not rely on this mic for a high quality recording, or even a decent recording. Especially not for micing amplifiers or acoustic instruments. Get a cheap MXL condenser mic.

The quality isn't what I would call "Digital Reference". I've used it quite a bit for recording speech for video, and it's suited quite well for that. I haven't had the opportunity to determine it's low end response, so recording bass...thunder, waves crashing or live music might be asking more if this microphone than it was designed for...

Hey Jonathan, this is an awesome mic. No recorder needed. But if your recording from far away a recorder would be best. I do a lot of interviews with mine and it works great.

Hello,If your computer has "MICROPHONE INPUT" and recording software MAYBE okay to use. However just want to remind you that the sound produce maybe very low and sometimes unable to hear. Hope this helpThank you

I didn't test it yet but I bought it for DJ equipment use. I think this mic is not for that because it has to be use with emplifyer. You need rodeo mics

Honestly the suck. I hooked it up to my sound system it lasted about a month before my records didnt sound right. Your better off getting a older used one. If you wanna record on your computer get audacity or soundwave and a rca to 3.5mm cord and plug in the the mic port.

Yes you could...not sure about recording with that type of mic though. Maybe for a small performance or something. But again it would be better to use a studio recording microphone. that dynamic mic you would need the jack for that type of mic.

Yes definitely. The mic is good enough for calling, recording or whatever really. If you need a better recording mic, you could always swap out the aux cable for something else.

I used this set up to record a bunch of spoken word poetry so I would say yes.my understanding is the mic is also designed to work well in environments that are not acoustically sound. So again, you should be good.

Mine was actually pretty defective and the sound quality was really bad so I never used it. I don't recommend it. I'm not sure if it works for mics.
