Donny Silverman chooses Countryman Isomax 2

Flute and saxophone player Donny Silverman uses the Isomax 2 instrument microphone from Menlo Park, CA-based Countryman Associates. “As a player of flute, alto, and tenor saxophones,” Silverman explains, “I first encountered volume issues when I began playing in blues, funk, Brazilian, reggae, West African, and other types of bands. I grew tired of battling with people whose instruments had volume knobs; because all I could do was try to blow harder. Then one day - fed up with the frustration of not being able to play with nuance because of volume considerations - I bought the Countryman Isomax 2 and that solved the problem.”

 

“The Isomax helps level the playing field,” Silverman continues. “Being able to hear myself with clarity and precision not only makes playing music that much more fun, but it has made me a better player as well.  At a very basic level, one might think the Isomax 2 is just a microphone - a tool of the trade. For me, however, it's the channel through which the audience gets to experience my musical concept of beauty and emotional expression.”

 

Silverman purchased his Isomax 2 roughly thirty-five years ago and he’s been a Countryman user ever since. “Since I have the Hypercardioid Isomax 2, I use phantom power if the sound system has it. Otherwise, or if I’m using effects, I’ll use my BPM battery power module,” says Silverman.
