摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The clip (10) has upper and lower vertical support arms (34, 60) fixed to respective ends of an adjustable support arm (12). A belt (110) receiving a microphone (112) is fixed to the arm (60). The arm (34) has a foot (44) comprising an adjustable jaw (40) and the arm (60) has a foot (62) comprising an adjustable jaw (66). The jaws are made of rubber and are adjusted for gripping front and back sides of a string instrument. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a musical instrument comprising a microphone fixed to a mounting clip. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Used for mounting a microphone on a case of a musical string instrument (claimed) such as luth, acoustic guitar, viola and violin, where the microphone is utilized for receiving sound from the string instrument and generating an electric signal for amplification of the sound. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The jaws are made of rubber, and hence they absorb the vibrations and protect the surface of the guitar from mechanical damages such as scratches or impressions of grooves or indentations due to the presence of jaws. The microphone mounted on one vertical arm is isolated from the vibrations of the instrument, and hence its movements are prevented when the instrument is displaced. The clip thus reduces the distortions in the sound. The adjustable jaws allow the position of the microphone to be varied according to the instrument players. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a perspective view of the front of a microphone mounting clip. 10 : Microphone mounting clip 12 : Adjustable support arm 34 : Upper vertical support arm 40, 66 : Jaws 44, 62 : Feet 60 : Lower vertical support arm 110 : Belt 112 : Microphone.
