I struggled for years with the limitations of the typical piezo pickup installed in my 1985 Guild acoustic. Even through the best acoustic amps or PA systems, tone and response of piezos are never great, no matter how much you try to tweak them. After installing a Fishman Rare Earth pickup in the soundhole, I was happier, but my guitar just didn't sound like my guitar through my PA. After demoing the Fishman Aura, which promises to replicate guitars realistically, I was again disappointed. A salesperson at GC recommended this mic. From the first time I used it, I was much happier, and it gave a natural sound. But, placing it on the edge of the soundhole accentuated the pick-on-strings sound too much, and I often hit the mic with my hand. So, I flipped it INSIDE the sound hole. After notching out some mids (around 750 Hz) to get rid of "boxy-ness" in the sound, my guitar sounded like my guitar! I am often complimented by audiences at gigs saying how clear and natural my guitar sounds. I am VERY happy with this mic. Keep in mind that ALL mics can experience feedback, especially at louder stage volumes, which pickups are essentially immune to. But, unless you're really playing loud, this should not be a problem. I highly recommend you check out this mic if you're a gigging acoustic guitar player. Feel free to e-mail me with questions.

I am not to happy with this AT-pro 70. I use this in my studio to record interviews via Zoom h4n. After the Recording is finished and imported to FCP(Final Cut Pro) for a play back the sound of the person speaking in very low. The mac volume is ste to 100%. In post I can fix that but I dont get the quality I need. So I will give it a try to a different mic.

Comments about Audio-Technica PRO 70 Cardioid Condenser Lavalier / Instrument Microphone:
Needed a cheap backup mic for audio interviews. While setting up to videotape a singer/guitarist at a house party, I tried my Zoom recorder's built-in mics. Terrible. Then I tried my Oktava MC-012. So-So. On a whim I trid the AT Pro-70 on a stand about 4' from performer and was blown away - rich, full, warm sound, with just enough of the live room ambience to add an extra dimension without boominess.
Comments about Audio-Technica PRO 70 Cardioid Condenser Lavalier / Instrument Microphone:
It was perfect with my guitar. I love that it came with a padded clip to use with my new guitar so, although I wanted to play without amplification, there was no problem putting it on my new custom made instrument. The string quartet I was playing with couldn't tell it was amplified (I also have a great amplifier). It was a very affordable microphone - I am looking forward to more occasions that I will be able to use it with my best instruments.

Comments about Audio-Technica PRO 70 Cardioid Condenser Lavalier / Instrument Microphone:
I am a legal videographer and have used these while filming depostions for over 2 years and am VERY pleased. These are extremely durable, on a weekly basis someone drops one and none have ever broke. And I very rarely experience any interference while using these.

Comments about Audio-Technica PRO 70 Cardioid Condenser Lavalier / Instrument Microphone:
for noisy rooms with little to no sound isolation this little mic is great for capturing acoustic guitar with included, and adjustable soundhole clip. filters out unwanted noise so that only the sound of the guitar , or anything I wish to record comes through

Comments about Audio-Technica PRO 70 Cardioid Condenser Lavalier / Instrument Microphone:
I bought two of these at the recommendation of an employee at Guitar Center (Jarod?) to be used for on location podcast interviews. I checked around and they had the same price as everywhere else. I was happy about that. When they arrived I picked them up at the store and they unpacked them with me and showed me how to use them. When I got home I did some test recordings with them and they sound almost as good as my desk top mic. I was blown away.

Comments about Audio-Technica PRO 70 Cardioid Condenser Lavalier / Instrument Microphone:
I do Podcast interviews as well as Screen Cast. I run into a Tascam DR-40 digital recorder. Since I can inset a battery into the Pro 70, I never use the phantom power on the Tascam. The bass cut switch is great and this mic cuts my post production by 50%. I own for of these mics and if they were stolen from me, I would be on-line in a heart beat, buying four more!

I've purchase 3 for my company and based on my experience with the mics I purchased 8 for the school I teach film at. Great tool for interviews and some on the go quick voice overs. I recommend the Pro 70 to anyone.

Comments about Audio-Technica PRO 70 Cardioid Condenser Lavalier / Instrument Microphone:
Our Cello/Classical guitar duo was our main bread and butter for some years. We've done many, many wedding ceremonies, fancy dinner parties etc as professional musicians. I've tried every piezo ceramic cello pickup made before switching my focus to mics. I decided to try the pro70 because it's billed as an instrument mic with a sound-hole clip. I built a make-shift mount to clip the mic in a good spot on the cello, and after some experimenting concluded that we had achieved adequate sound quality on the cello at long last. The pro70 brings a nice, warm, full signal into the mixing board with no unpleasant frequencies I've ever felt a need to EQ out of the mix.
We've been gigging regularly with this mic for 6 or 7 years and never had a malfunction (other than low battery). We've been pretty careful with it, but it's still remarkably durable and reliable. I came to this site looking to buy 3 more so I can mic the string quartet.
On a side note, I have tried to clip it on for vocals in a pinch and found it a really lousy setup for singing.
