Applied Microphone Technology VS - Condenser Mic

Applied Microphone Technologies (AMT)

VS microphone. The VS is a ultra miniature, feather weight low profile condenser microphone specially designed for the Violin, Viola, and Mandolin. The microphone attaches to the Violin, Viola, and Mandolin with a clamp designed for be solid on the instrument without harming or dampening the natural sound or vibrations.

The entire microphone and mounting mechanism is designed to clamp securely to the body of the instrument without damage to it's finish.

The element itself is attached to a flexible gooseneck, allowing easy positioning at the sound board. The cardioid polar pattern effectively minimizes off-axis audio that causes noise and feedback. The microphone itself is specifically designed for the smaller instruments in the string family. The microphone provides pure tonal reproduction while being unobtrusive. The reproduction of natural sound of the instrument is the goal.

An external beltpack provides the output stage and power supply for the microphone. The beltpack also provides variable impedance for line level output and standard a XLR output connector. The VS is powered with external 12-52VDC phantom power or 9-volt battery.

The AMT VS is the perfect choice for for soft to loud music. Principal artist or soloist microphone setup. Microphone is suspended in a 4 point isolation ring reducing key and handling noise. The microphone clamps with adjustments for the side of a violin, viola, or mandolin. Phantom power or 9Volt battery required. Comes with BP45 preamp, case, and AMT disconnecting cable technology to allow the microphone to be used with "W"ireless or "Belt pack" models if needed. *Additional cables for a variety of setups sold separately. Compatible with Wi5C Wireless system.
