Hi David,

The audio technica pro 70 is a clip on mic, you clip it on in the soundboard hole
I do not know how good it is with recording, but on stage with an amplifier it is perfect and very comfortable to use.

Does anyone have a list of what most professionals use?

I use a Behringer B-5 which works well for me.

thumbs up for the audio technica pro70 clip on condenser mic. maybe combine with a sennhieser k1 or something similar.

The Neumann stereo microphones are incredible good, but quite expensive, a good less expensive alternative that we used for live performance but also recording are the Rode NT5 stereo microphones

[Ramirez1987]

the audio technica pro 70 is a good cheap option
how ever it has a rather limited dynamic range
i own one of these and tend to use for other music other than flamenco.
i think before you buy any microphone it is wise to try the sennhieser K6 with a cardiod condensor cap
certainly wider and more responsive than any other small diaphragm microphone avail. though i believe neumann also are manufacturing a similiar microphone.
having owned several microphones this is one i can say surpasses any i've tried.
hope this helps.

For the last 8 years, I have not used a microphone. Instead, I use a Matrix model MPU-1 Guitar Tuner Pick-up with male phono plug (not clip on model). It was designed to be plugged into a guitar tuner, but I plug it into my Roland Amp in place of a microphone. This little gem, costing about $16, has a stick on rubber suction cup the size of 50 cent piece. It comes with about a 18 inch thin cord the thickness of a strand of spagghetti. You may wish to buy a 5 foot extension cord at Radio shack. You simple stick it on behind the guitar at the lowest point dead center. With my Roland Micro Cube and Street Cube, it works like a charm with no feedback. It produces the sound of my guitar perfectly. Just Google the words: Matrix Guitar Tuner MPU-1 for a photo of it.

I own an audio technica pro 70. I think that this clip-on microphone is not so good. In my opinion it gives not a well defined sound, the basses are very muddy, and it gives not so many details. Now I use the shure sm 81, that also can do well in a studio. Some testresults say that it is far more better than the highly praised sm 57/8 (?). A friend of mine did make a comparison with his AKG. At first the shure seems better, but after equalisation the AKG basses were a bit better defined (in his opinion). I'm very satisfied with the sm 81. It sounds very clear, powerfull and dynamic. Its feedback resistance is far more better than that from the AT pro 70.

If I should buy a new microphone I should first try a DPA 4090. By the way my experience with the Rode NT5 are also very good.

the AT Pro 70 can be eq 'd for more definition important to roll off the basses!!. think a small diaphram condensor is the only serious choice. the rode is a good option just a bit sensitive and prone to 'take off' in live situations [great for recording]. i heard of a company called Guzman which make a wireless mic that can be placed inside the guitar. any one know anything about these? nothing on google just a recommendation from classical guitarist Sharon Isbin. ....or shure make a violin wireless mic...??? curious if anyone has come across these.
