THE BANJO MIC    $179

The Banjo Mic is a professional quality, miniature condenser mic for amplifying or recording a banjo. Specially voiced for enhancing a banjo's sound, the mic conveys the timbre of your instrument accurately to your audience. The Banjo Mic can get loud before feedback occurs.

The microphone has a tiny mic capsule with a rugged cable attached to an XLR connector which houses the electronics.

The Banjo Mic requires 12-48V phantom power which most mixers provide. Adhesive VelcroŽ pieces are supplied free with the Banjo Mic for easy mounting and cable strain relief.

We designed the mic based on extensive research into musical instruments and mic techniques. We measured, and listened to, the sound picked up in many locations on a variety of banjos. In engineering the product, we incorporated suggestions from banjo players.

Features and Benefits:

  • Wide, smooth frequency response provides a natural acoustic sound -- much better than a pickup.
  • Feedback resistant.
  • Easy to attach and remove.
  • Compared to a stand-mounted mic, the Banjo Mic offers less clutter on stage, provides more consistent volume and tone, and allows freedom of movement. No heavy mic stands to carry!
  • High sensitivity and low-impedance balanced output provide a strong, hum-free signal.
  • Permanently attached 8-foot cable with XLR connector.
  • Made in USA.
  • 2-year warranty, money-back guarantee.
You can change the tone quality easily by changing the mic position:
