🎵 Why Specialized
📎 On the Instrument
Mounted directly — moves with the player. Stable position. Live, touring, marching, musicals.
🔇 Minimal Spill
Close to source → less bleed. Less gain → less feedback. Cleanest signal per instrument on busy stages.
🎯 No Stand
Clean stage. Freedom of movement. Marching — only option. Musicals. Fast setup.
📎 Clip-On Condensers
📐 How
Miniature condenser capsule (5–10 mm) + gooseneck (10–25 cm) + clip/adapter. Cable → XLR adapter (48V) or bodypack. 20–20 kHz, cardioid/supercardioid.
📊 Specs
SPL 140–155 dB. Noise 13–22 dBA. Best (DPA) — near SDC-on-stand quality. On bell (brass), bridge (strings), grille (accordion), rim (drums).
🎯 Mounts
DPA 4099: adapters for 10+ instruments — one mic, multiple clips. ATM350: several clips included. Beta 98: brass clip.
🏆 DPA 4099
📐 Microphone
Reference: supercardioid, 20–20 kHz, -24 dBV/Pa, SPL 142 dB. CORE technology. Minimalist, invisible on instrument.
📎 Adapters
One mic — adapters for: violin, viola, cello, bass, guitar, sax, trumpet, trombone, flute, clarinet, accordion, piano. Investment in flexibility.
🔌 Connection
Wired: → DAD6001 XLR (48V). Wireless: → adapter for bodypack (Shure/Sennheiser/Sony). Adapters for all major systems.
📎 ATM350, Beta 98
📐 ATM350
Cardioid, 23 cm gooseneck, clips included. XLR via AT8543. Less detailed than DPA but great value. Versions: ATM350a, ATM350UL.
📐 Beta 98
Supercardioid, compact, brass clip. Beta 98A/D (XLR) or Beta 98H/C (mini-XLR for bodypack). Often bundled with Shure wireless.
📐 Others
e608 (dynamic, no 48V). C519 (condenser, brass). e604 (dynamic, toms/snare). Audix ADX20i (condenser, instruments).
🔊 Contact Piezo
📐 How
Piezo element on body/top → mechanical vibrations → signal. Not airborne sound. Hi-Z → DI box required. Fishman, Realist, LR Baggs, Schertler.
✅ Benefits
Zero feedback. Stable. Invisible. For loud stages (rock double bass, acoustic guitar with full band).
⚠️ Blend
"Piezo" tone. Solution: blend with mic (piezo = stability, mic = natural). Two mixer channels.
📡 Wireless
📐 System
Clip-on + bodypack + receiver. 100+ m, 6–12 h. Digital (SLXD, EW-D) — near wired quality.
🎯 Best For
Marching bands, musicals, shows, churches. Wherever a cable gets in the way. Frequency coordination.
📊 Kits
BLX14/B98 (budget). SLXD14/B98 (digital). EW-D + clip. DPA 4099 + wireless adapter.

🔔 Percussion / Exotic

🔌 Connection
📎 Clip-On Wired
Mic → cable → XLR adapter (48V) → mixer. DPA → DAD6001. ATM350 → AT8543. Beta 98A/D → XLR direct.
📡 Wireless
Clip → bodypack → receiver → XLR → mixer. Connector compatibility: mini-XLR/Lemo/TA4F.
🔊 Contact Piezo
Piezo → DI box (Hi-Z→Lo-Z) → XLR → mixer. Don't plug piezo straight into mic XLR — impedance mismatch.
