DPA 4061 Miniature Microphone
This mic kan do it all. Besides it's close-miking of amps ability, it's a giant in miking all sorts of acoustic instruments . I use it for my guitars, mandolins, ukelele, tin-whistles and even accordeons or concertinas.
Since I play a lot of acoustic instruments, I'm allways on the look for a neutral reproduction of their sound.
The hardets to amplify is mi slide guitar a 1930 Stromberg-Voisinet Kay Kraft, Style B. It was the first instrument I tried my DPA 4061 on. I stuck it on there and it sounded perfect. A beautiful reproduction of a unique sound. The overtones, created by my non-muting slide technique, were untouched and crisp. After that, I used on my other 1930s guitar, a Epiphone Recording "A" Tenor. this was the first time I was able to play this guitar on stage wthout feedback. Under-saddles en soundboard-pickups have not been able to get this quality level with these guitars.
It comes with a variety of holders and mounts. For strings, universal surface mounts with double sided tape, a magnet mount and foam windscreens.
I'm no technician, so I can't explain why this little mic performs like it does. But, this sure is one of the finest microphones around. I can hear that! It's great.
