General

If you play an instrument and want to amplify and record it, you can use this microphone for a quick and easy result. The microphone is equipped with a high-grade microphone head. This microphone has a frequency range of 60 to 20,000 Hz, which is enough for most instruments. The microphone itself can easily be fastened to any kind of instrument with the clip at its back and the goose neck of the C516-ML ensures that you can aim the microphone very precisely. The microphone is designed for use on accordions, pianos, guitar speakers and keyboard/organ cabinets. These instruments are optimally transferred and the maximum SPL of 132 dB ensures that you can effortlessly produce a great sound. The microphone itself has a mini XLR connector and can therefore also be connected to a bodypack, allowing you to enjoy spot-on sound, completely wirelessly!

I have been using this microphone on the keys side of my accordion for nearly a year now, gigging once or twice every weekend.

The movable arm offers flexibility but it still sturdy, so has made life experimenting best placement for an accident prone newbie Accordionist nice and easy!

Mini XLR leads are fragile but the one provided is nice and long, so with enough slack and a few pieces of electrical tape in the right places, I am confident to place it wherever on my accordion.

I could not recommend this product enough, especially for those who like to move whilst playing accordion and aren't quite tech savvy enough to install a microphone inside. I will definitely be looking in to purchasing one for the bass buttons in the new year!

Voor accordeon: *****
Live: geluidstechnici zijn het er unaniem over eens dat ze amper meer iets hoeven te doen met het signaal. Accordeon ligt direct super in de mix.
Studio: Heb veel verschillende microfoons gebruikt, deze werken gewoon ook voor in de studio perfect. Ontzettend functioneel. Voor deze prijs bizar. Zou ze nooit inruilen.
Nadeel: Vind het bevestigen niet ideaal. Ziet er niet superstrak uit, dat plakspul laat wat sporen na (wel schoon te krijgen). En ik ga geen schroefjes in mijn accordeon boren.
Draadloos nooit geprobeerd. Let wel op dat je verloopkabeltjes nodig hebt voor de mini-xlr.
