PRO 35 Cardioid Condenser Clip-on Instrument Microphone

Bought this mic on a recommendation from a great Swing guitarist to mic my acoustic Archtop guitar. I play professionally, and have struggled for years trying to get a true acoustic archtop tone for Swing rhythm, without being stuck behind a stand-mounted condenser mic. This mic is EXACTLY what I've need all these years!! It DOES require phantom power, but almost all sound systems have onboard phantom power these days. It clips to my pickguard and stays just outside the lower F-hole, and sounds GREAT!!! That still leaves my floating magnetic free for solos thru my amp! The icing on the cake is-I got a wireless system for the magnetic pickup, and then found another wireless for XLR that HAS BUILT-IN PHANTOM POWER, leaving me free to move around without any cords!

Amazing sound. Clamps perfectly in my violin's chin rest. There's no need for an actual clamp on the violin.

This is a truly outstanding mic. Not only for its cost but its size. I gig often playing both Alto and Tenor saxophone and this mic was the best microphone investment I have ever made. The sound quality is crystal clear and once you find the sweet spot for your instrument it picks up all ranges and all volumes fantastically. I highly recommend this mic. Ok, so there is just one very minor thing.. There is a module type thing at the end of the mic cable that will drag on the floor if you don't do anything prevent this. Personally I just loop it in my belt to keep it off the ground and it doesn't bother me, but it may annoy others. Also, be warned, this mic requires phantom power.

I bought this mic for my saxophone. I play in a cover band that plays lots of loud music, and I was getting over-powered. It sounds great, does a nice job of picking up my horn. You should be sure you are plugging into a good PA system. Ours is getting maxed out at this point, and our sound guy had to turn me down. Not a mic problem at all, but be aware it won't solve all your problems by itself. Totally worth the investment.

With proper adjustment, this makes an awesome bell-mounted microphone for trumpet. The clip is padded and hasn't marred my Bach trumpet at all, which is nice. It does pick up a little valve noise, which is to be expected, but the internal shock mounting is way better than I had hoped. Very usable! I've been using it with a mic pre/phantom power from a mixing board to get it up to line level, then injecting it into various guitar pedals. Which is WAY too much fun...

I use this to mic my accordion on the bass side. I put on a small velcro strap and hang this down. It picks up the whole register and you can't hear any key rattle. It really is a perfect mic. I've loved it so much that I bought another one to put on the piano side, since now I just use a standard house vocal mic over there, so soon I won't have to worry about that. I've used it on the piano side before, using velcro again and placing it in the middle, and it works great picking up the whole range. Don't be fooled by the little adapter though, that's not a power supply. You need phantom power for this mic, but just about 98 percent of mixing boards at any bar or club you can play it will have one, so not a big deal.

all good

Worked just as good as our Beta 98s, especially for the cost difference

conforme

Exactly what we were looking for for my girlfriend viola

Great Mic

Perfecto, buena compra. Lo compré para el saxofón y funciona perfecto, buena calidad de construcción también.

Pour son prix, ce micro remplit toutes les missions qui lui sont demandées. A privilégier en studio plutôt qu'en concert (même si en statique il peut rendre son office), il se positionne aisément sur un saxophone. Attention à penser à l'alim. fantôme si vous n'êtes pas raccordés à une carte son ou une table en disposant.
