All.
(Apologies - I am a newbie to the world of Sax mics).
I need advice re the best clip-on mic to go with my band's MG116C desk. While the Yamaha does have phantom power, it can't be applied independently (i.e. just to the Sax) - it has to be all-or-nothing. So, phantom power from the desk isn't an option.
Do I (thus) need to go for a separate mic and pre-amp and, if so, what is the best combination? This is for playing Live Sax in a 5-piece (with vocalists), playing rock music (specifically - Pink Floyd).
I was originally looking at the DPA 4099s. Am I right in thinking that the DAD 4099 pre-amp would do the job? Is there anything which would combine better (ideally, I'd like one with independent volume control).
Many thanks in advance for all your help.
Steve.
