From Applied Microphone Technologies (AMT), the WS clarinet microphone is unique in design and function. The microphone mounts to the clarinet and features 2 cardioid microphone elements, each attached to flexible goosenecks. The elements are designed to be positioned at the bell and keys of the clarinet.

The dual miking technique results in a natural, authentic reproduction of the instruments mechanics as well as the sound produced from the bell. The elements feature cardioid polar patterns, which suppress residual noise and audio signal at the off-axis sections of the capsule. The microphone connects to a separate beltpack that provides the output stage and power. The WS clarinet microphone operates on 12-52 Volt phantom power.

The WS features dual cardioid microphone elements to capture signal from the bell and keys of the clarinet.

The dual capsules are mounted on goosenecks for flexible, easy microphone positioning.

An external beltpack is wired to the microphone and provides a standard XLR output as well as variable impedance level. The size of the beltpack is convenient for use in performances.

The cardioid polar patterns greatly reduce residual noise and feedback at the off-axis sections of the microphone capsule.

The mounting clasp provides a firm grip without damaging the finish of the instrument.
