Re: DPA 4099v with a volume boost/mute for live show
This all illustrates the one drawback with clip-on mics: if you perform in situations where you need to vary dynamics/volume a lot, you either have to develop a specific way of playing to accommodate this or you end up with extra 'clutter' and several hundred (or more) $$ in extra gear...
For some styles they are great - but if you have to play a lot of 'breaks' then life is more difficult.
I have both DPA4099 and ATM-350's, and I like how they sound, but for me, a static mic on a stand still works best (recently been using a Neumann KM-185, I am getting very good off-axis rejection with that, plus a nice working distance).....
