Music Instrument Microphone

Music instrument microphones clip or mount directly onto guitars, violins, cellos, and other instruments for wireless amplification, built for the specific challenge of picking up an instrument cleanly without feedback.

What to check before you buy

Gooseneck flexibility: A flexible gooseneck holds its position once bent, letting you fine-tune mic placement close to the instrument's sound hole or body.
UHF vs 2.4GHz wireless: UHF systems generally offer more selectable channels to avoid interference in a venue crowded with other wireless devices.
Phantom power requirement: Condenser instrument mics need 48V phantom power to function; dynamic mics don't, check your mixer or receiver supports it before buying a condenser model.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a clip-on instrument mic instead of a regular microphone on a stand?

A clip-on mic moves with the instrument, so the sound stays consistent while the musician plays and moves, and it keeps the stage free of extra stands.

Which instruments can use a clip-on microphone?

Acoustic guitar, violin, cello, saxophone, trumpet and similar acoustic instruments. Choose the mount (clip or gooseneck) that fits the instrument's body or bell.

How do I avoid feedback with an instrument mic?

Place the mic close to the sound source, keep it pointed away from speakers, and use in-ear monitors instead of loud stage wedges. Shop in-ear monitors.
