The receiver is very small, and it plugs straight into your mixing desk, amplifier, or sound interface. The mic plugs into the transmitter with a mini jack that fastens into place. It’s definitely the most balanced, and it really surprised me with how good it actually sounds and its overall design. Moving forward, both Michael and I felt that the NuX Wireless Mic was our favorite. While it is easy to use and doesn’t pick up a lot of key noise, I’m not a fan of the sound. This one I can only find on aliexpress for about $170. I didn’t ask anyone to send me wireless microphones, they just keep showing up and after this video I’ll probably find some more in my mailbox. KimafunĪnd just to be clear with you, I was sent all of these mics for free. The other downside to the Cloud Vocal Prime is that while the mic itself is powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery, the receiver needs to be plugged in which is an inconvenience, especially if you aren’t going to be using the built in effects. The Cloud Vocal setup does include a lot of features like onboard effects, and the ability to mix in other inputs, but the microphone itself is not meeting my expectations.

I was hoping there would be more of an improvement over the first generation of this mic that I reviewed a few years ago. Personally, I was a bit disappointed with the sound of this mic compared to the others. I know Michael has been using it for a lot of his smaller gigs where he just wants something convenient and practical. This mic is the Cloud Vocal Prime it sells for around $650 US dollars. I did have to adjust the gain here and there to get the levels to be similar though. Keep in mind that there is no effects, no reverb no EQ what you hear is the unmodified dry signal going through my Universal Audio Apollo Twin. However, the following microphones are all clip ons and wireless. It’s not a clip on or wireless and very expensive. The first mic I played back for him was my AEA R84 ribbon mic, I thew this in there to have a point of comparison.

The results were really surprising and I think you’re going to be very pleased when I tell you which one of these we found to be the clear winner.Īfter Michael recorded on each mic, we blindfolded him so he wouldn’t know which one we were listening to. Michael is no stranger to wireless mic setups, so I thought “who better to help me test these out?” Joining me for this video is my friend Michael Ghegan whom I met while he was on tour with Super Tramp. Which wireless mic should you use for your saxophone?
