Frequently Asked Questions
The E 908 B offers a more natural, less 'proximity effect' sound than many clip-ons, but the C409 might be more convenient for quick setups.
The MZA 900 P adapter is typically designed for standard European voltage, so you may need a voltage converter depending on your region.
While primarily designed for sax, the E 908 B’s cardioid pattern and frequency response will work acceptably for other reed instruments, though a dedicated clarinet mic might offer a more tailored sound.
