String Instrument Microphones

This category contains microphones for string instruments. Like with all acoustic instruments, condenser microphones are recommended. Mostly small-diaphragm condenser and ribbon microphones. Small diaphragm condensers are the preferred choices for any sources that produce fast attacks and/or delicate harmonic structures. Small diaphragm mics are designed for transparent sound and minimal coloration and, because of their consistent pick-up patterns, are ideal for stereo miking and large sound sources. The most important advantage of small diaphragms over large diaphragms is that their pick-up patterns are more consistent. Clip Microphones are suitable for stage use providing a better signal separation.
