4099V Clip Microphone
for Violin, Mandolin, and more
Adjusting the clip height
The height of the VC4099 Violin Clip can easily be adjusted
to fit a wide variety of stringed instruments with a body depth
between 35 mm (1.4 in) and 55 mm (2.1 in).. Press the lock on
the side of the clip to increase height.
Adjusting the gooseneck and microphone angle
The gooseneck can flex in all directions. Bend the gooseneck to
fit the natural curves of the instrument.
Turn the microphone to the desired angle.
Application note
Most players prefer the 4099 to be placed on the left side
of the instrument to avoid restricting the player’s movement.
Point the microphone away from the performer’s head to avoid
breath noise.
For optimum volume, point the microphone toward the f-hole.
Please note that this also makes the sound character a little
duller, which may or may not suit your taste. If not, point the
microphone at the bridge.
