A Microphone Designed for Bowed Strings, in the 21 Lanen Line
The VL21C belongs to the Prodipe "21 Lanen" instrument microphone family, praised for its compactness and musicality. Designed to fit the shape of violins and violas, it places the capsule as close as possible to the source, under the strings, to achieve a precise and lively timbre while remaining visually discreet on stage or in front of the camera.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for violinists and violists in live performance, rehearsals, video recording, or home studio, the VL21C offers a reliable setup that follows playing nuances without interfering with the bow. Its stable mounting limits handling noise, making it suitable both for amplified music and acoustic ensembles requiring controlled gain levels.

Good microphone for the violin, the sound is clear and well reproduced. But the big problem is that the microphone captures both the violin strings and the violinist's breathing, regardless of its position, above or under the strings. It's unbearable once amplified!
So I sent this microphone back and went for FWF Systems microphones with another techno.Automatically translated
