DPA 4099 Clip Microphone for Cello

Close-miking a cello

A compact cardioid microphone directly on a cello

Use the 4011C compact cardioid microphone to point the microphone directly against an area of the instrument and thereby enhance a special sound, i.e. timbre, bow sounds or finger sounds.

The 4011C is furthermore under influence of the proximity effect, which can be used to enhance the low frequencies of the instrument and thereby give the recording more body.

This set-up is also excellent for live sound applications.


A miniature microphone directly on a cello

An even smaller and yet superbly sounding microphone is the miniature 4060 omnidirectional microphone.


For live scenarios

In the same category but with special focus on the live application, the d:vote™ 4099C super cardioid miniature clip mic with its special mount for cello offers the ultimate solution.

It attaches to the outer strings and offers maximum separation and reduction of feedback.
