4099V Clip Microphone for Violin
and Mandolin
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 d:vote 4099 to be placed on the left side of the
instrument to avoid restricting the player’s movement. Point the micro-
phone 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.
