★Medium-large diaphragm condenser microphone specially designed for upright bass
The Nadine is a medium-large diaphragm condenser microphone designed specifically for upright bass guitars. Tuned for a flat bass response at the mounting distance, the cardioid pickup pattern captures the sound from the surface of the upright bass as naturally as possible, even within the constraints of close placement. The microphone's rear response is damped, eliminating feedback issues even when performing in front of stage monitors.
The microphone is divided into two sections: the body is secured to the tailpiece via a safety strap with elastic Velcro, and the head mounts easily between the strings above the tailpiece using a rubber ring. The two sections, connected by a 14-inch Mogami cable, can be easily attached to any bass. This mounting system makes the Nadine easy to transfer to other instruments and safe to leave attached. After years of searching for a microphone design that meets the needs of acoustic upright bass players, we believe we have found the perfect microphone design for this challenging instrument.
●FEATURES
