It’s a little more toppy sounding, but with some eq and effects, both of which are built into the CloudVocal receiver unit, you can get a lovely sound from this mic. The results:Īs you can imagine, the £1000 AMT Wi-5 does sound warmer and rounder.īut, the iSolo still works great. Also both went into the computer through my Universal Audio Apollo Twin interface. To keep things fair, I kept the signals clean with no effects or treatment of anykind. To do this I connected both microphones to my tenor sax bell and recorded from each of the receiver units directly into Logic Pro X simultaneously.
In fact, CloudVocal claim it is the smallest, lightest and smartest wireless microphone system!īut is it the best sounding? Putting the iSolo to the testīecause I am so familiar with the AMT Wi-5, I wanted to do a head to head test with the Cloud Vocal. In fact you could almost not notice it is even connected to your saxophone bell because the microphone and transmitter weighs a mere 26grams.

And, this is an expensive wireless system at over £1000. The Wi-5 is built to last thousands of shows with a simple but very sturdy clip, compact electronics and a lovely sounding mic capsule. Their Wi-5 system (now replaced with the Quantum 7) is a beautiful piece of kit. Thankfully the Samson was replaced a few years back for a brilliant wireless microphone from American firm AMT. I had to replace the clip, the stalk, and reinforce everything with….loads of Gaffer! Upgrading my wireless microphone I did use the Samson Airline on hundreds of shows but I’m sorry to say for most of those it was covered in “gaffer” tape.īy the time I retired the Samson, it was like a “Frankenstein microphone” – more added bits and tape than anything else. It was ok, but most importantly it was very affordable! My first system was a Samson Airline setup. My history with wireless mic systems has had it’s share of ups and downs. These days there are so many options on the market and it’s tricky to know which is the best one for you.
