I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my new systems on Monday. I use the C419 for alto, tenor & bari. Any thoughts on what pre-sets sound best with this mike? I have a pretty bright sound, as I tend to play high baffle metal mouthpieces.

Saxhound,
My 10-piece band (4 horns) use wireless clipons as well. Both saxes (alto/tenor & tenor/bari) much preferred the sound of the Shure clip on - is it the WM-98? - and thought the c-419 was a bit edgy and bright. Both trumpets, however (me being one), use the 419. On the old preset list - typically we have used flat (00) settings, but I have yet to try the mic through the new presets. My suggestion is to start flat, and experiment, letting your ears (rather than a preset title) judge the sound.

Let us know what you end up with!

Ken,

I guess I like edgy & bright. I thought the WM-98 sounded a little dull and lifeless when I tested it unless you really jacked the EQ. It's hard to get a decent test in a music store. They had me plugged in through so many devices that I wasn't sure how much was the mike versus the PA. I should probably give it another chance with the PAS.

I keep hearing good things about the AMT systems, but they need to design a better clamp. It takes a couple minutes to move it from one horn to another.

I'll let you know of my results.

Regards,

Bob

Isn't that why we all choose differently? One person's perfect sound is another's dull & lifeless! LOL Ain't life grand?

I am looking into AMT's mics, especially the Roam1's - check some other postings here on the forum, reviewing AMT mics, by using the search function.

Good luck finding "your" sound!

I have a nice sound from a C419 pointing it more at the valves.
