Mic Specs Explained (full article)
The Fiddle Mic J is a professional quality, miniature condenser mic for fiddle (violin) and viola. It requires 12-48V phantom power which most mixers provide. It attaches easily to your instrument, and accurately conveys its beautiful timbre to your audience.
The Fiddle Mic also can plug directly into an acoustic amp with a phantom-powered XLR mic input, such as a Fishman Loudbox 100, AER Compact 60, Schertler Unico, or Acoustic Image Coda/Ten2.
The mic cable has an inline mini jack so you can detach the cable. If you need a permanent cable, see the Fiddle Mic.
Features:
- Wide, smooth frequency response provides a natural sound -- better than a pickup
- Tone quality is specially voiced for close-miking a fiddle, giving a warm, smooth sound
- Soft housing will not scratch your instrument

- High sensitivity and low-impedance balanced output provide a strong, hum-free signal
- Detachable 10-foot cable with XLR connector
- Included soft foam mount does not affect your instrument's sound
