Jim, unless you're playing with the most incredibly sensitive musicians there are you're dynamic range will be limited somewhat. The limiter can be set to alow different amounts of volume change. I'm using a DBX compresser-Limiter and It's onlyabout 250-300 bucks. I have to say mostly I have it set for those times I shove the mic on the bell of my tenor sax and it keeps the volume in line with the volume of the clarinets. If you haven't purchased a mixer yet I highly recomend Makies. We just got a the 12 channel efx model, and it works really great. You can pick up a Mackie very inexpensively on Ebay. Both versions of the 419, the radio version and the wired version do not need preamps but the wired version needs phantom power. Whats really cool if you get a Mackie mixer you can plug the mic in put on a set of head phones and really hear what will come out. We're using powed JBL eons on concerts and gigs two 15 out front and two eon10s as monitors. I know this post really has little to do with C Clarinets, Sorry about that. If I can make one suggestion about either running sound and or working concerts with other people running it is... Make a point to learn something about it. The best think to read about sound reenforcement is Get a Mackie manual. I have a manual from an older mixer that we use to have and it is without a doubt the best thing I'veever read on doing sound.

Thanks Tom Puwalski.
