HEIMU Clip On Instrument Condenser Microphone + Universal Clip (for Clarinet)

Ok. I was nervous buying the mic because it isn’t a big name brand. I have absolutely no regrets. It sounds so good!!!! If you already have a nice sounding acoustic guitar well this mic is going to pic that great tone up and amplify it. I didn’t have any feedback problems. Plenty loud. Not noisy. The list goes on and on. I love it and will probably buy another if anything happens to mine. Sure the mic cable is tiny but the whole thing is small and super portable. I put some electrical tape where the connections are just to reinforce or prevent any breakage. Again, such a good mic-excellent value.

I own several of these mics - total of six, I think. I’ve been very happy with how they sound on everything I’ve tried. I use them mostly for live reinforcement, and I don’t experience any unusual feedback or side-spill.Grand Piano - two of them mounted directly to the harp; one pointed at the left wall, right over the place where the strings cross; and one pointed at the hammers from about 18 inches away, somewhere in the top three octaves (depends a lot on your piano - you have to experiment). Great stereo image with really accurate and detailed sound.Double Bass - mounted under the bridge, pointed at the center of the instrument body. Beautiful, rich tamber with crisp attack and detailed thump. Arco passages have a hint of bow without heavy overtones. Quite nice.Cello - again, mounted under the bridge (through the arch), pointed at the instrument body, with the capsule positioned around the end of the fingerboard. Sounds like a cello should sound, rich and resonant with detailed overtones and a lovely rasp with heavy bowing. Couldn’t ask for a more natural sound.Flute/pennywhistle - mounted below the tuning slide, toward the embechure, pointed at the player’s lips. very clear and accurate. Use a foam cover to avoid puffs of breath from the musician.Guitar and ukulele - mounted on the bottom of the lower bout, below the saddle, pointed at the fretboard. Use a soundhole plug to avoid howling (typical with guitar). Careful to not bump it on stage. Very accurate, so use it on nice sounding instruments - it will only make a bad instrument sound worse by amplifying the unpleasant parts.These mics sound really good. If you know how to place mics for live sound, you’ll find all kinds of excuses to use them.

I really like this mic. It sounds really good, especially for the price. I like that I can clamp it right to my acoustic, and not have to worry about mic position moving when I'm recording sessions. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because the suction cups will come undone occasionally, causing the mic to move. Could just be my guitar with the finish it has, but all in all this works fantastic. Connects right to my pre amp via xlr, and then I can patch right into the rest of my recording chain without issue.

I was pleasantly surprised by the sound of this mic. It works well with woodwinds.However, my issue is the rubber "gooseneck". It keeps slipping out of the metal "gooseneck". I head a weird noise during a concert and the clarinet players mic fell limp. It was hanging by the two small wires. I was able to work the rubber back in, but it slipped out while using it at the next gig on a bassoon player.It it was secured, I would rate this better...but for now, I am stuck with some limp mics.

Got this for my mom for her violin. She has a great violin she bought from a violinist in the Louisville Orchestra. He played (now her) violin in the orchestra. She has a fish man amp and a fish man pezzo type pick-up. The quality changed so much better when she changed the pick-up to this mic. Still using the fish man amp. WOW amazing sound. She likes it so much she bought another for my son’s violin. Makes his 3/4 scale violin sound better too. So it fits a full size and a 3/4 size just fine. I imagine it would have fit his 1/2. If your a violinist and needing amplified.. This is the mic set up for you. Needs 48volt phantom power. For some reason fishman amps only have 24volt phantom. We did buy a neewer brand phantom power supply for about $15. Works perfect. Super clean and great tone.

If you need a great microphone for a grand piano, you really must give these a try. I've used some instrument mics styled like this one costing 4, 5, 6, 10 times as much that didn't sound one bit better than this one. I bought two but ended up only using 1 because I don't need tons of low from the keyboard because we have a bass player. Both of them yield rich, percussive tone that our system lovingly shared with the whole room and with the band. No feedback issues (cut 250 and 500 narrow and kinda deep) but our piano is literally 12 feet from the left main. Piano lid on short peg but it would work with the lid all the way closed. Enjoy! This is a problem solver.

I bought one of these looking for a low-cost way to mic up a dobro. I guess you get what you pay for. Although the clip-on mount for affixing the mic to your instrument is okay, the cable and XLR adapter are flimsy and susceptible to RF interference. I can't imagine using this onstage for long without a cable or adapter failure, and any recordings I have made with the mic have been marred by random ticks and blips.As others have noted, you'll need phantom power to get signal out of this mic. I found that the mic is overly sensitive when standard 48v phantom power is applied; this often results in somewhat "fuzzy" distorted sounds, especially in the bass.My advice: save your money toward the purchase of something designed for professional use.
