Instrument microphone Omnitronic 13030902 — wired XLR-3, 50–15000 Hz, -55 dB sensitivity, silver, DC powered

Omnitronic 13030902 is a wired instrument microphone engineered for close-miking musical instruments and for stage applications. It provides balanced XLR-3 connectivity, a frequency response tailored to instrument capture (50–15,000 Hz) and a sensitivity of -55 dB. The microphone is DC powered, finished in silver and weighs approximately 450 g, making it suitable for stable positioning on stands or clip mounts during live performance, rehearsal and studio sessions.

Advantages

The microphone’s wired XLR-3 output ensures low-noise, balanced signal transmission compatible with standard mixing consoles and preamps. The 50–15,000 Hz frequency range captures both low fundamental tones and mid-high detail from acoustic and amplified instruments. The -55 dB sensitivity provides a practical output level for close and moderate distance miking without excessive gain. The DC powering option simplifies integration with stage power supplies and matching equipment. A solid silver finish offers a neutral appearance for stage and studio use.

Suitable for

• Close-miking acoustic guitars, electric guitar cabinets and bass cabs
• Drum overheads, toms and percussion instruments in live and rehearsal settings
• Amplified instruments and stage rigs where a durable wired mic is preferred
• Studio instrument capture when a focused, instrument-oriented response is required

How to use

Connect the microphone to a mixer, preamplifier or audio interface using a standard XLR cable, ensuring the receiving device provides the required DC power if needed. Position the mic close to the sound source—on a stand or clip mount—adjusting distance and angle to balance direct sound and ambient pickup. Set gain on the mixing console or interface to achieve a healthy signal without clipping; use moderate amounts of EQ or low-cut filtering if necessary to reduce rumble or stage bleed. For live use, secure the microphone and cable to avoid handling noise and to maintain consistent placement during performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test microphone placement during soundcheck to find the optimal distance and angle for the specific instrument. When using on guitar cabinets or drum shells, start close to the sound source and move in small increments to identify the spot that yields the desired balance of attack, body and presence. Use a pop or wind shield only if wind or strong breath noise is present; otherwise, rely on placement and console filtering.
