C411PP Vibration Pickup for Stringed Instruments - XLR Microphone

Excellent Product. Bought after several review, no regret.

Awesome pick up mic. No wonder they lead the market in condenser Microphone sector

Works well. I use it for my sitar. Frequency response is good. It is an active pickup, so it needs Phantom power to work. Downsides are that you have this tape to glue it that is only sufficient for removing and putting it back a few times. Also the wire is very thin, so I am a little worried that slight mishandling may damage it. I also found it picking up hum from 50Hz mains, but I feel that is partially the fault of my mixer because it does not have an earth connection. And although not a big deal, but the pouch supplied with it is too small to fit the XLR Jack. As far as the things that matter are concerned, no complaints.

One of the best and most affordable pick-up microphones. I'm using it on my sitar and it sounds just great. Picks the slightest of the vibrations. Don't forget to buy a phantom power adapter for your mic. It's useless without a phantom power adapter.

I got a defective product. When I compared it with a working model of the same product to my friend's, it did not perform anywhere close to it.

Superb! all my problems are solved now. pretty happy to have this.

बहोत अच्छीआवाज

best mice for pick up in sitar really worked out for me by it needs a phantom mice so please keep in mind wile buying it. WORTH BUYING IT!!!!!!!!!!

It is expensive, but it is worth every riyal

This thing doesn't get enough love. Sounds great on most acoustic instruments. There is a sweet spot on your instrument for this pickup and it might take a while to find it. For my violin it's right behind the bridge on the body under the G string. I'd recommend starting there on a violin, placing it perpendicular to the bridge. I removed the original casing on mine (not recommended) and rewired it into a smaller enclosure, but i'm not sure it improved the sound quality. I don't know how the tone of the AKG C411 compares to the technologically similar Ischell pickup (over twice the price) or the Schertler Basik (similar in price). All three are contact condenser microphones. The Ischell gives you a little EQ control. The AKG is the most affordable. Here are a few things to know about it before buying: The AKG C411 requires phantom power. The output can also be a little hot for cheaper preamps. You will most likely need to EQ this pickup, preferably using an eq with sweepable midrange to remove some of the boxiness in the sound. On my violin, I usually need to notch out a little near 600 Hz, and sometimes around 300 (this may have more to do with how your top plate is tuned). Then there are the normal fiddle unpleasantries in the high mids you should deal with. EDIT (7/10/2017) Ok I've been using this pickup regularly for over two years and the cable where I wrap it around the chin rest is starting to wear out so I'll probably be buying another one very soon. Since the initial review we've seen the release of the Behringer X-AIR series of mixers. The XR12 and the new Midas MR12 is the perfect preamp/direct box for something like this if you really want to control your sound. Not only does it give you all the EQ and effects you'll need, it allows you to blend another source like a mic with this pickup. The AKG C411 blended with a small microphone mounted in the right place has allowed me to get very very close to achieving the sound I want.

Very happy with this mic so far. I use it on a hand pan drum. I would have liked the cable to be a bit thicker though as it looks like it could be easily damaged if something gets accidently placed on top of it like a chair leg, keyboard stand leg or flight case. Especially being black on a dark stage you might not notice until it's too late. I understand they need to be lightweight for attachment to string instruments and such but any lightweight cable trailing on a stage floor is asking for trouble. Perhaps they could offer two versions - a lightweight cable and a heavy duty cable.

Amazing mic! I used it for Kanoun, it captured all the range and now I can hear myself with a lousy band.

Çok güzel teşekkürler. Satıcının ilgisine ayrıca gönülden teşekkür ederim
