[QUOTE="John Norris, post: 9985, member: 155"] An Irish flutist friend is considering buying a clip-on mic for live performance. He already has both a headset mic and a lavalier mic, (I don't know the brands/models) and is not fully satisfied with either one. Since he knows that, for a muso, I keep up with what sounds good more than he, he's asked me for a recommendation. Budget is not specified, but I know that he wants to be satisfied, so he's prepared to pay more than he previously has. John H and Dick R, and anyone else with experience miking an Irish flute, please share your thoughts. Thanks These questions come to mind for live Irish flute mics: 1) Will a good clip-on perform better than a good headset or lavalier, or not? I see that DPA makes a both a headset and a lavalier, in addition to their 4099 clip-on. 2) Is wireless the best way to go, or not? 2) Will the Audix ADX10-LFP fit on the larger bore Irish flute? And if it fits, then... 3) Is the DPA 4099U still worth the extra expense over the Audix or not? 4) Any other high quality mics for Irish flute to consider? [/QUOTE]
