Lane,
Audio-Technica makes a little gooseneck condenser mike
(the Pro 35) that clips directly to a lyre or
poinsettia cover plate, or to a little clip you can
attach to a fan.
Mine sits about 2 inches away from my hand, at about 2
0'clock on the cover plate, and 3 inches away from the
screen. I have never used it in an all-electric band,
but they have to keep adjusting the volume down when I
sit in with a band usingindividual condenser mikes.
They claim the mike can take sound pressure levels of
over 130 db without distortion. I play very loudly,
and have never had a problem with distortion. The
response is pretty flat from 80 - 18,000 cps. It has
a 6-foot cord with the male XLR connector, requires
phantom power (like most condenser mikes). The plug
at the end of the cord can be attached to your guitar
strap for better strength, so the small cord from the
mike does not take the strain of a longer cord.
You are a fixed distance from the mike, so you play
loud or soft to vary the volume to the PA system.
Also, there is no on/off switch, so you have to be
carfeful where you point it during rests and
intermission.
They also make a radio transmitter model of the same
mike (Pro 45?), that sends to a receiver at the amp,
which plugs into a hi-Z input. This transmitter does
have an output level control, and an on/off switch, so
you can have some control over your volume, and can
move about on stage more freely.
I have one of the transmitter types, and two of the
wired types, and I like them very much. I am playing
with a second band, which uses two of the large
condenser mikes and moves around them for breaks.
Since I can no longer stand to play, this little mike
has been very useful with this band.
I think Shure also makes a similar mike, but have no
experience with it.
The A-T mikes can be had for about $160, and the
transmitter syustem is about the same.
The usual disclaimers.
