In general, XL wind microphone weighs more since it has a slightly bigger mic capsule that gives the microphone a wider dynamic range to hold sound pressure up to 140dB. As for the tonal details, it provides a fuller and smoother sound which means you have to take some time to search for the best spot to mic your instrument.
On the other hand, both microphone can be applied on most wind instruments with specifically designed mounts. The rechargeable batteries guarantees you at least 5 hours of usage time when it is fully charged.

Both CHOICE and PRIME receiver were designed to let players to have intuitive control on stage. Therefore the basic functions are the same: you can mix your wireless mic, aux in and line in all together at once without buying a mixer.
The major difference is that we doubled up the effect numbers this time. Players now have more tonal possibilities to explore (3 reverbs / 2 delays / 3 creative) . And the second generation algorithm will make your reverb sound more natural as you were in the real concert hall or an arena. Inside the analog circuit, we implant the chipset that is often used in Hi-Fi audio to increase the overall audio quality.
If price and conveniency is your main concern, then ISOLO CHOICE will take care of your performance at a great price. If you are picky about tone, then ISOLO PRIME could give you an extraordinary sound.
