Quick Tips: Choosing the Right Microphone for Violin or Viola

  • Prioritize natural sound: The SEM-02 offers uncolored, transparent audio — critical for classical and acoustic performance.

  • Optimize mic placement: Its miniature size makes it easy to position near the f-hole or bridge for best results.

  • Avoid feedback: Low self-noise and high sensitivity reduce the need for gain, helping prevent feedback in live setups.
