Bartlett Microphones has announced the introduction of a great new feature to the Guitar Mic B.
The Guitar Mic is a convenient 9-volt battery belt pack and 1/4” jack that connects to a direct box, acoustic-guitar amp, or wireless mic transmitter.
This pro-quality miniature condenser mic attaches to an acoustic guitar for sound reinforcement and recording. No guitar modification or phantom power is required.
Voiced to convey a guitar’s timbre accurately to an audience, the USA-made mic provides accurate sound while rejecting feedback.
According to Flamenco guitarist/teacher Jason McGuire, “The Guitar Mic B is the best thing I have tried on my guitars in 25 years of searching and trying literally every other mic and pickup under the sun. Bartlett Mics are incredibly natural, transient response is amazing.”
A soft-coated steel clip is supplied for mounting the mic on the front surface of a guitar just inside the sound hole.
This placement results in high volume from the PA speakers and it isolates the mic from other instruments.
A mic in the sound hole normally sounds boomy, but the frequency response of the Guitar Mic B rolls off in the low frequencies to compensate.
The result is a natural, non-boomy tone. Frequency response is claimed to be very smooth from 80 Hz to 20 kHz.
The battery lasts up to 620 hours; unplugging the guitar cord shuts off the battery.
