Keep That Rich Sound With Our Violin Microphone
Violins are an especially elegant instrument. From the long, low notes to the fast finger plucking, violins have the ability to capture many sounds and emotions. The strings vibrate with ease and beauty as the bow slides across each of them, slowly and methodically, presenting an array of beautiful hums. There is a depth of sound that comes from the violin. It's a sound that is hard to capture with a violin microphone or a violin microphone. Instruments like the violin, were made to be acoustic, made to project the great sound out of the f-holes and into the ears of so many. When we talked about making a microphone with violins in mind, we knew it was all about sound, sound and sound. If we could not make a violin microphone that could capture the true-to-ear, rich sound of the violin, then there was no point in attempting it. Luckily, we did it! We will share a few of our best violin microphone options for you to use on your violin, all of which capture the highs and lows of your violin with a perfect and true sound.
The Feather Violin Microphone
The first violin microphone that we recommend for violins would be our violin microphone known as the "Feather." This model was designed to keep the preamp box off of your instrument but still close enough to access the volume knob. This violin microphone gives you the ability to attach the powered preamp box to your belt or pocket, as the long violin microphone attaches to the violin. This design allows for less weight on the upper and lower areas of the violin, leaving you no extra weight to support. The end of the long violin microphone has a flexible gooseneck mic that easily attaches to the chin rest, tailpiece or even the f-hole on the violin. Many violinists prefer to attach the violin microphone to the chin rest or tailpiece of their violin and guide the flexible violin microphone to sit right above the f-hole, ready to catch every note you play. The design of this violin microphone allows ultimate freedom on stage and you will be left playing as if there is no violin microphone attached.
The Clamp Violin Microphone
The second model is our "Clamp" violin microphone. This violin microphone is nice because it sits securely on the depth of the violin with use of a tension clamp. The clamp allows you to easily place this violin microphone on either side of the violin and out of the way, where movement will be. This version of our violin microphone comes with either a 3" or a 6" flexible violin microphone that can sit and hold its position, right above the f-hole which is where most musicians prefer to place it. This violin microphone allows the preamp box to sit on the violin safely with rubber and cork bumpers, allowing you to easily turn the volume up and down without ever having to even let go of the bow. This violin microphone captures the violin's richness with the same high quality violin microphone as the Feather and all of our microphones.
The Grip Violin Microphone
This violin microphone known as the "Grip" is the least common of the three violin microphones but is still preferred by some violinists because of the difference in attachment. This violin microphone uses a suction cup that is attached to the bottom of the preamp box, making it easy to place the whole violin microphone system onto your violin, without ever damaging it. The suction cup mounts securely to violins that have the smooth and glossy finish to them. Some violinists that have the glossy violin look prefer the suction cup because it is the easiest attachment to use, since everyone knows how a suction cup works. This violin microphone comes in both a single 3" or 6" model and even comes with the option of multiple violin microphones to attach all over the violin, covering both the f-holes.
There is no way to go wrong with one of our violin microphones because all of our violin microphones use the same microphones. Our violin microphones capture the beauty that makes the violin the violin. Hear the deep tones and rich sound as well as the elegant finger plucking. Play in a small group or full orchestra and have the same reassurance that your sound will be as authentic as when you practice alone. Hear the same acoustics picked up from our violin microphones that you hear all the time. We know you will love the sound and realize there is a violin microphone out there that focuses on sound and, along with our 100% satisfaction guarantee, you have nothing to lose!
As with every model in our Feather Series, our original Feather allows incredible versatility. Mounts on almost any instrument without need for modifications.
