I bought this microphone today and I was testing it but I Wanted to be sure about the sound so I came on TH-cam and I come across Your music video You're wonderful sound
Our band has problem with wireless XVIVE U3C phantom to DPA 4099. We have Behringer X32 with a router so we can mix the sound with tabletts and phones. Put on the transmitter och reciver in any input a high level tone around 800 - 1000 kzh. Have you heard about this. Is interference with the router? Is it the same problem with this wireless system?
No, it cannot connect directly to a PC or Mac. You will need an audio interface with an XLR connection to capture the sound in your DAW. BTW, I have a course that shows you how to do all of that.
Yes you'll need to have two quarter inches that are standard cables for pedalboards and then have quarter inch male and female adapters for both quarter inch cables I run my sax thru my board with no issues
It probably could work but I cannot say for sure since I've never done it. The cable to convert from an XLR (the receiver of the NUX B-6) to a Lightening cable is close to $100 on Amazon; you could easily buy an audio interface for almost a half of that price and you would have more flexibility with what you can do with it.
@@KadrianThomas Thank you for the reply. I have Apogee MIC+ which is directly connected to iPhone, but it is not wireless. In addition, it is not a clip onto the saxophone.
Hi Kadrian, I have a question. I have a Scarlett audio interface. Does the microphone come with effects or should I have some software like cakewalk on my computer?
Hi. No, it does not come with any effects. It's just hardware with three different built-in presets. You need to route the mic through your own effects pedal, mixer board, or DAW that has software to add effects.
Hi, you would plug the Receiver (the RX) into the port on your effect pedal where you'd normally plug your other microphone. If your pedal doesn't have an XLR connection you would buy one of these XLR to Quarter Jack converter:amzn.to/43naIEz that way the receiver can work with your effect pedal.
Is there a difference in sound enhance connecting the mic to an amp versus a mixer? Are there any other significant differences using the mic versus a mixer? Thank you.
Hi, the mixer will give you more control and options to EQ the microphone than an AMP would. What do you mean by, "Are there any other significant differences using the mic versus a mixer?" A mic and a mixer are two different pieces of equipment altogether.
@@KadrianThomas Hi. I meant are there any other significant differences using an amp versus a mixer. Another question, how close should the mixer be to the saxophonist when he/she is playing? Thank you for sharing this information.
@@advocatelucinda The amp will be limited as it relates to eqaulizing the mic. The mixer will alow you to amplify your sound through multiple speaker boxes including stage monitors, while an AMP is a single unit/box. Using a mixer vs an amplifer will be dependent on the purpose you'll need it for. If its street performance, then an AMP or a single speaker with built-in amplifier will be fine. If you are doing gigs like concerts, weddings, parties then a mixer plus powered boxes would be preferable. The mic has a range of 20 meters or 65 feet from the mixer. I've used mine over 65 feet without any drop in signal.
once you start to deviate from the 15-20 meter range from the mic, it will start breaking up the signal. Creates sort of like a flanging effect, not amazing. Furthermore, along with the 2.4 frequency, the moment you are on bigger gigs, more pro gigs with more signals/wireless instruments around, this mic becomes VERY problematic. Its great for solo gigs or with DJs but you simply cant rely on this as your one and only. which is a shame. plus the one I bought only 7 months ago no longer pairs to the receiver and has been rendered unusable... tried to claim the warranty and the company pretty much gave me the runaround just to say that they wont be refunding or replacing it. Sadly I really cant recommend this product and would advise others to not invest in it.

Congratulations! It is a great microphone. Thanks for your kind words. Continue being awesome!
Your goodness is running after me love that song. I just came across your video
Awesome! Thank you!
Just got mine today. LOVE IT!!!
I'm glad to know that you love it, and is enjoying it. Many blessings as you perform and record your sax using yours!
Thank you for a very informative review of this mic system. It appears to be a good value. Thanks again.
It's my pleasure. It is a good mic.
Great video. Thank you. And I love your playing!!
Thank you kindly!

Nice review Kadrian, nice piece of kit
Thanks, Geoff. I trust 2023 is treating you and your family well in every way.
Good thanks Kadrian. All the best for you and yours for 2023
Hey nice video
I have questions : what about time and 20 metres?
The NUX B6 mic has a big issue with the frequency of the high B and C by my soprano straight.
Alto and Tenor are OK 👍
Oh wow!! Really? Did you test a second one or just the one that you have? I’ve never had an issue on soprano using mine.
Please, if there happen to be more than one of this mic in set, can it frequency be changed?
No, it does not allow frequency changes. And only one mic comes in each system.
Does the NUX-B6 allow recording to a PC? If so does it require any extra device?
No, it cannot connect directly to a PC or Mac. You will need an audio interface with an XLR connection to capture the sound in your DAW. BTW, I have a course that shows you how to do all of that.
Great review. Can it be connected to an effect pedal or an effect machine? If yes, how can this be achieved?
Yes, If you have an XLR connection or you buy an XLR female converter to male quarter jack. You can check this:amzn.to/3FeireD
Yes you'll need to have two quarter inches that are standard cables for pedalboards and then have quarter inch male and female adapters for both quarter inch cables I run my sax thru my board with no issues
The adapters are quarter inch to xlr male and female 4 pieces total two quarter inches two adapters for both quarter inch cables
Hello! Beautiful review! What’s the distance/range that it can cover?
About 65 to 100 feet.
Can I used to record by iPhone if the NUX B-6 receiver's XLR plus is connected to a lighting cable?
It probably could work but I cannot say for sure since I've never done it. The cable to convert from an XLR (the receiver of the NUX B-6) to a Lightening cable is close to $100 on Amazon; you could easily buy an audio interface for almost a half of that price and you would have more flexibility with what you can do with it.
@@KadrianThomas Thank you for the reply. I have Apogee MIC+ which is directly connected to iPhone, but it is not wireless. In addition, it is not a clip onto the saxophone.
Anybody know if this microphone can be used with trombone? I ask because the trombone has more explosive sound
You could but note that it was specifically made for saxophones.
There’s EQ settings for soprano, alto, and tenor, but what about baritone sax?
No setting for baritone; I would use the tenor preset for baritone.
Please, does it have a changeable frequency range? I will appreciate your response. Thanks so much
No, it only allows you to change the built-in presets for the different saxes, namely soprano, alto, and tenor sax.
Hi Kadrian, I have a question.

@@KadrianThomas Hi bro.
Thanks.
Can this mic be directly connected to an amp without a mixer?
Yes, as long as there is an XLR mic input or you have an XLR female to male quarter jack converter to plug into a Quarter jack input.
Hi. How do I connect this mic to any effect pedal?

@@KadrianThomas Very helpful . Thank you.
@@LucindatheAdvocate It’s my pleasure!
How much is it and can I buy it from you directly? From South Korea.
$200. No you'll need to buy it on Amazon.com. Link is in the description.
It's good for bose s1 pro? I'am music street player
Yes. Just plug the receiver into the XLR input and adjust your bass, treble, reverb and volume.
What effects you use ?
I use the preset effects in my DAW.
Just a question, where's the volume nob??
Hi, bro. You will control the volume from your mixer/DAW/effects pedal console. No volume control on the actual mic itself.
@@KadrianThomas Thank you, I understand.... It's because all the Mics i have owned they have it that's why
@@oralsaxi1080 That's cool. This one is very compact without wires etc. BTW, I really like your style. You have some lovely videos.
Please is it suitable for trumpet ?
hi, yes. However, You would need to EQ it via your mixer board or DAW to suit your taste just as you would any other mic that you have used.
@@KadrianThomas
