I just bought my new mandolin, The Loar 420 f style, and I'm looking for a pickup or clip on mic for performibg live. I want something that will sound good, not internal (!!) so I won't have to drill a hole on my instrument.. And something that will be easy to take off and get back on.
I thought about the LR baggs Radius, but I saw here on the café many bad reviews on this one. I heard good things about the DPA 4099, but will it be good for live situations, Due to the fact it's a condenser mic? Again, I'm not looking for recording solution but a performing one.
And another question - Is the DPA 4099 a clip + mic, or just the clip (with the mic selled seperately)
Thanks!
EDIT:
If the DPA is not a good solution for my needs - the LR baggs will satisfy me?
Most of my gigs will be mandolin (me), acoustic guitar, cajon and sometimes sax. (No drums or electric guitar involved)
