Violin Microphone

prusaprinters

<p>I made this microphone as a last-night solution to be able to amplify two violins relatively cheaply wireless at a friend's wedding, so I designed it to use my AKG PT80 Transmitter that normally uses a small condenser lavalier microphone with a MiniXLR connector.</p><p>I made it to fit 1/1 Violins, will not fit smaller violins or larger violas without some adjusting of the model</p><p>I will add a picture of it fastened to a violin soon (forgot to take a picture)</p><p>I printed the clip in a Shore 45D flexible filament, and a correct alignment of the infill helps with getting it flexible in the right places (see an image of how I used the infill at 20%).</p><p>The microphone capsule I used is an EC-0301/L, chosen mostly because the impedance and the sensitivity are a good match for my AKG PT80 Wireless transmitters, but any condenser/electret microphone capsule with a diameter of 9.7-9.8mm and a length of &lt;11mm works in the clip.</p><p>You will need:<br>- EC-0301/L or other 9.8mm Electret Microphone Capsule<br>- Microphone Cable<br>- Connector of your choice<br>- Heat shrink<br>- Hot glue</p><p>Originally published on <a href="https://www.youmagine.com/designs/diy-violin-microphone">YouMagine</a> back in 2015</p>
