3.5 Violin
Fig. 8: Miking up a
violin.
Refer to fig. 8.
If the production concept does not allow for
microphones mounted on the the violin itself, you
can attach the microphone with mastic to the violi-
n ist's cheek.
This method provides the following benefits:
•
Since the microphone is not mounted on the
violin itself, it will not affect the sound of the in-
strument.
•
There will be no risk of damaging the violin with
adhesive tape or similar mounting materials.
•
There will be no cable that gets in the way.
To clean the microphone case, use a soft cloth
moistened with water.
