The EVNO CLX clarinet microphone system is designed and manufactured by hand in the USA. The microphone is designed specifically for clarinet and oboe. A bell mounted setup designed to produce the most natural reproduction of sound possible while allowing for the most gain before feedback.  The double microphone design has a predetermined mix allowing the frequencies over the bell to be greater than the bell to achieve the most natural sound of the instrument as possible.  Similar to the SPX2 the CLX has many of the same characteristics however varies in several ways to accurately accommodate the clarinet.  

The CLX double microphone design includes two elements tuned specifically for clarinet and oboe and suited to address all the problems that are common in mic’ing a lower volume instrument.  The microphone will allow you to be heard as you sound without coloration, giving the audience a true representation of the sound the player works a lifetime to develop. 

The CLX is the perfect choice from solo performance settings, principal soloist’s in all genres, to high energy horn section bands of all styles.  From orchestral musicians to jazz, folk, klezmer, polka, and marching band the CLX will give you a setup where all the nuances of the instrument can be heard.  Each genre and player has a different sound and by keeping the microphone flatly EQ’d, you’ll sound like YOU sound without coloration.  The system can be used in low to high volume applications without the worry of saturating the element due to volume or high end feedback from surrounding instruments.  The CLX is the ideal choice for clarinet and oboe players playing not only as a principal soloist but in sections alike. Clarinet quartets, trios, and marching band sections alike are able to use the microphone wired or wireless as desired. The Evno designed clamp allows for perfect placement above the bell of the clarinet by putting the upper head of the microphone at the perfect point above the keys and the lower microphone in front of the bell.  

The gooseneck allows movement away from the body of the instrument and the bell as needed to accommodate fingers and key movement.  The microphone is easy to place on and take off the instrument with a screw tightening clamp while always being attached at the perfect height. The gooseneck in from the bell allows movement to place on an instrument stand.  The CLX gooseneck, designed in the USA, holds position as desired while being lightweight in design.  The microphone itself is built with perfect venting as well as a highly attractive machining process creating a beautiful look while allowing the frequencies of the instrument to fully be captured by the microphone itself.  Suspended in two standard variable 7 point suspensions, the microphone allows for simple and easy replacements of the O rings as needed.  The microphone body is terminated with a 3 pin mini XLR connection which is used for both wired and wireless connections.  

The microphone system can be used wired or wirelessly.  The Evno CLX is shipped with the PS95 power supply for wired use while still being adaptable and ready to use with Evno, Shure, AKG, or Sennheiser wireless systems.    (AKG and Sennheiser cables ordered separately to mate the microphone with another brand wireless or available in a package with the microphone and cable for customers who already own an Evno, AKG, Shure, or Sennheiser system.) The included cable with the CLX system works both with the Evno PS95 phantom power adapter, and Shure wireless transmitters.  By-pass the cable to connect to Evno clip-on wireless transmitters. Additional packages include the CLX system with Evno Wireless or the CLX microphone setup directly for use with Shure, AKG, or Sennheiser wireless systems.
