Dusan · 8th November 2009

Hi, I will be in the near future recording a number of show which involve brass instruments.

The problem I am facing is that the musicians I will be recording tend to move around the stage, and sometimes go into the audience. I envisage I will have to put clip-on off-the-bell dedicated wireless microphones at least for the main players.

Does anybody here have any experience to share from a similar situation?
Are there any recommendations regarding a particular make or model of microphone for the purpose?

I will be reviewing AMT LS and P800 microphones, as well as Sennheiser and AKGs.

Anything else I should consider?
