Neumann Clip-On Instrument Microphones

Neumann clip-on instrument microphones provide compact close-miking solutions for professional musicians, allowing the microphone to be mounted directly onto compatible instruments for live and recording applications.

What Are Neumann Clip-On Instrument Microphones?

Neumann clip-on instrument microphones are compact microphones used with dedicated mounting solutions that attach to compatible musical instruments. This approach positions the microphone close to the sound source without relying on a conventional floor microphone stand.

Neumann offers the Miniature Clip Mic System (MCM), a modular microphone system developed for close-miking a wide range of instruments.

Why Use a Clip-On Instrument Microphone?

• Close positioning: Keeps the microphone near the instrument for direct sound capture.
• Freedom of movement: Allows performers to move more naturally than with a fixed stand-mounted microphone.
• Consistent placement: Helps maintain a relatively stable microphone position as the instrument moves.
• Modular mounting: Different mounting options support different compatible instrument types.

Applications for Neumann Clip-On Microphones

Clip-on instrument microphones can be used with compatible string, brass, woodwind, percussion and other instruments. They are particularly useful for live performance, but can also support recording applications where compact close-miking is preferred.

Choosing the Right Clip-On Setup

Consider the instrument type, mounting position and required connection. With a modular system such as Neumann MCM, the appropriate mount and connection configuration should be selected for the specific instrument and audio system.
