From day 2:

One of the markets best microphones for close-up micking of instruments. This model has a clip, specially designed for guitar, mandolin, ukelele, etc.
This microphone has a very pratical mounting clip that is mounted on the cello A and C string, below the bridge to be able to work in the instruments sweet spot. Allowing for a natural string sound and high separation on stage.
Other features ore:
* Superior Gain-before-feedback and low destortion due to very high SPL
* Compatible with the market leeding wireless microphone systems
* Flexible "goos neck" which makes it easy to adjust for optimal sound without hindering the performance
* The design of the clip makes it easy to mount, even with one hand
* The clip is very gentle to the instrument without coming lose, even at very expressionistic performances.
* Directional characteristics:
Supercardioid
* Principle of operation:
Pressure gradient
* Cartridge type:
Pre-polarized condenser
