A Clip Microphone Designed for Stage and Versatility
The SB21 Lanen is part of the "21" series dedicated to live acoustic instrument sound capture. Its electret capsule, designed to handle very high dynamics, offers precise and musical reproduction, faithful to the timbre of saxophones and brass instruments.
For Which Uses and Who?
Ideal for saxophonists, trumpeters, trombonists, or tubists in live performance, rehearsals, or mobile recording. Its quick and stable mounting facilitates instrument changes and suits both brass sections and soloists.
Design and Key Features
Stable and Adjustable Mounting
The flexible gooseneck combined with a fixed rod covers a wide range of orientation. The suspension effectively isolates vibrations and mechanical noise, while the rubber clip fits the shape of the bell for secure holding without marking the instrument.
Wired or UHF Connectivity
Supplied with clamp(s) and XLR adapter for wired use requiring 48 V phantom power, the SB21 can also be used wirelessly via the Prodipe DSP - UHF Bodypack Instrument, perfectly matched to the capsule's impedance.
Sound Performance
The unidirectional pattern helps control stage bleed, while the wide frequency response captures breath, attack, and harmonic richness from low to high registers.
