Title: SK49 pair on a live orchestra
Post by: Alex Harmer on May 18, 2026, 06:09:45 AM
Hi,

I thought you would like a sound sample of what the SK49s can do on orchestra. I built these mics, but I had to buy extra long 7-pin XLR cable to hang them from the ceiling of the auditorium. 

Last week I recorded the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra live in the Town Hall, Christchurch, New Zealand.

There is no reverb, EQ, or processing. 

They are absolutely fantastic microphones! Thanks Sound Skulptor!
