Harp Contact Microphone with volume control AC-SC-06v

This unit is the same as the AC-SC-6 but has the addition of a small volume control on the supplied preamplifier. This volume control allows the user to adjust the volume without the need to go to the main mixer/amplifier.

The standard contact microphone for harp is a thin strip microphone which fixes to the soundboard of the harp.

The tan coloured protective PVC cover allows ample surface to achieve good adhesion to the sound board.

It is fixed using double sided self adhesive tape supplied in the kit.

The positioning of the strip can make a difference to the sound it reproduces so experimentation is important.

We suggest you start 1/3 of the way up the soundboard, to one side and away from any ribs.

The strip is normally fixed to the inside of the soundboard which is unvarnished so it may be easily removed if it is no longer required or to use on another instrument.

This system comes complete with a preamplifier with a volume control in to which you plug the strip and from this via an XLR cable to your mixer amplifier. The preamplifier may be powered by an internal battery or it will use phantom power if this is available from your mixer/amplifier.

One of our Accusound wireless Instrument systems amy be used with this system to remove the need for a connecting cable between the harp and the amplifier.
