Title: gary's review of audio technica at450 microphone
Product review: I was looking for a microphone that would work well to pick up the barrel of a clarinet. Studied lots of microphones and pickup patterns, microphone types on line. I decided on this microphone because it has a cardoid pickup pattern, and what seems to be an adequate amount of sensitivity to pick up the barrel of the clarinet from about 4 to 5 inches away from the instrument. I probably could use a little more sensitivity, but am concerned about feedback problems, being in an extrememly lively sound stage situation. I tried it at home with an amplifier and small speaker, but have not given it the acid test, which is on stage. Wish me luck!---------Gary
