AMT WS Clarinet Microphone
From Applied Microphone Technologies (AMT), the WS clarinet microphone is unique in design and function. The microphone mounts to the clarinet and features 2 cardioid microphone elements, each attached to flexible goosenecks. The elements are designed to be positioned at the bell and keys of the clarinet.
The dual miking technique results in a natural, authentic reproduction of the instruments mechanics as well as the sound produced from the bell. The elements feature cardioid polar patterns, which suppress residual noise and audio signal at the off-axis sections of the capsule. The microphone connects to a separate beltpack that provides the output stage and power. The WS clarinet microphone operates on 12-52 Volt phantom power.
- Dual Element Design
- The WS features dual cardioid microphone elements to capture signal from the bell and keys of the clarinet.
- Flexible Microphone Positioning
- The dual capsules are mounted on goosenecks for flexible, easy microphone positioning.
- External Power Supply and Output Stage
- An external beltpack is wired to the microphone and provides a standard XLR output as well as variable impedance level. The size of the beltpack is convenient for use in performances.
- Cardioid Polar Pattern
- The cardioid polar patterns greatly reduce residual noise and feedback at the off-axis sections of the microphone capsule.
- Secure Mounting Mechanism
- The mounting clasp provides a firm grip without damaging the finish of the instrument.

Comments about AMT WS Clarinet Microphone:
I use this microphone for live performance of clarinet + live electronics. Finally I am able to be mobile and compact on the stage, not using two separate microphones (with so many holes sound source is practically everywhere in this kind of instrument).
I hope this solution will also help to avoid feedback problems.
Sound quality is great, but I am not expecting it to be 100% natural, since the lower microphone is pointing almost directly to the bell, getting very rich of low freqs sound.
I think it will be best to combine it with wireless solution.
