How does this mic do for Brass instruments?

Can't help you out there, sorry. This mic was a gift for my son in Michigan (I'm in Arizona) and he has no brass instruments in his band.

Surprisingly enough, this mic is a bit nicer to brass than many large diaphragm condensers. It's a clean sound, and with a little EQ can work well.

I've tried it on a trumpet, and it sounded pretty clean and accurate. I've also tried it on vocals and drums, it will do really good on almost anything really. If all you're looking for a mic to record just a brass instrument though, and don't already own an audio interface, I'd recommend the Blue Snowball USB. It's $100 I believe, it'll sound similar, and you won't have to buy an interface for it (which are $100-200 in addition to the mic itself) hope this helps!

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.

I use this for podcasting and so far there are no issues. Clean with no hum. But honestly I don't play any instruments through it.

I've only used the mic once. I'm not sure because I primarily use this only for music. Sorry I couldn't help.

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.

I haven't had a need for a pre-amp for this Mic so far because of it's insane sensitivity. You'll be able to hear anything you record with the Mic, so long as your input levels are good. For example, the Mic was able to pick up my oven beeping when I couldn't hear it in person from where I was. (I was in the basement and I heard the oven while I was playing a take I had just recorded.) If you still want to amplify, I've found that my DAW does an excellent job of boosting the signal all on its own.

Hi this mic is extra sensible, very good. For example I use it in my room and rec the birds singings outside. I am Happy with quality. It gets sound from everywhere.

Intended for strings...don't know if it works with brass. Operates on vibrations.

If you're mic is using an unbalanced 1/4" cable. However most are XLR. I would suggest something from TC Helicon for vocals.

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

I haven't used it with low brass. I would keep searching for an answer on that. I only use it on acoustic guitars and it sounds pretty good.

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...

u can plug a 1/4 inch high impedance mic into it, but only has one input, and alot of stuff for guitar, not vocals

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.

Yeah, this is primarily a stage amp. It sounds good at lower volumes but sounds amazing when cranked. It can play a decent sized bar without micing depending on your bandmates gear.

Yeah. It's good about that. However, I would suggest not getting this one. Mine crapped out after just four months. It may have ben that I was bending it up every which way a lot, and perhaps that messed up the wires. Just be forewarned: It may not last long, and you want to avoid bending the mic arm as much as possible.

I don't think so.This mic is for string instruments. It captures the vibration of the strings, should not be suitable for blowing instruments.
