    Hi!
    I am looking for equipment (microphone) for sounding the violin and an amplifier for them.
    microphone (up to PLN 1,400)
    I found one (line 6 75 watt) amplifier, but there are various effects in it, and it seems to me that I do not need these effects, only a good amplifier. I am not aware of amplifiers and microphones for sounding the violin. Please, if anyone knows something, I ask for advice.

    greetings

    Like a microphone, it's standard ATM-350. If it is to be plugged into the oven, a good preamp would also be useful.
    Bake hmm, it depends on what playing and where, because you do not mention anything.

    Or maybe some pickup and not a microphone?

    Greetings.

    I will say that I would like to have universal equipment, i.e. be able to play "on the street" in a restaurant, etc. I mean, I could play the backing track and play it and also play with the looper. I want my equipment to be universal.

    What is the difference between a pickup and a microphone? what do you think is better in my situation?

    As for playing classics, a better microphone, as broadly understood pop music, a better pickup. It all depends what you expect. Mounting the pickup is best done with a luthier.
    The microphone will more accurately reflect the natural sound of the violin, while the pickup - depending on its type and quality - will always color the sound of the instrument. In addition, the pickup is easier to twist and is much less susceptible to feedback than the microphone.
    As for the oven, they are rather for the acoustic / classical guitar, because they carry a wider band. Although many violinists, especially those who play sharper music, also use electric guitar stoves. These, however, move the band in a narrower range, especially in its upper part.
    I would also like to add that a lot depends also on the musician's skills and on what he can get out of the instrument. A good technician (tremola, vibrata and other decorations) through the microphone and without effects will sound good, a weaker technician will sound (especially in solo playing) like "Janko Muzykant". :-)

    Read, on the web you should find a lot of material in this topic.

    Greetings.

    I think the pickup will be better because I mean more about playing music (classical music can always be played without a microphone). And what pickup to choose. In general, I found such an amplifier link . This is the amplifier that I saw in one violinist who plays on the street (electric violin difference). I think it is a good amplifier, but it has a lot of goodies. I think I can buy cheaper like this. What do you think? Maybe you know some good amplifier?

    PS Pickup is not suitable for classical music?

    In general, I want to play covers of various songs (rockabye; chep thrills; etc.), as well as classical music (pachelbel canon in d; vivaldi concerts).

    Choose: https://www.thomann.de/en/przetworniki_do_skrzypiec.html?oa or arrange a good luthier, show him this page and let him choose the right one for your violin.

    As for the stove, first sort out the pickup and then go to a larger music store and test some stoves.
    However, I would opt for a furnace for an acoustician or a key, plus some nice stuff.
    Apparently, on Bose L-1 the violin sounds great .... cool. :-)

    It will be suitable for playing like yours (i.e. everything and everywhere). Not suitable for a typical classic.

    In general, at first I thought about the amplifier itself and possibly the pickup later. Am I able to choose an amplifier before buying a pickup? What do you think about this amplifier, what link did I give above (line6 spider IV 75W)?

    Is there any good amplifier that will meet my expectations (pickup and in general)? Is there such an amplifier that I am able to buy before buying the rest?

    I tested several types of various violin pickups and all others beats my latest purchase, the Barcus Berry 3100. The sound of the violin is excellent, very natural. And most importantly, you do not need to pierce the stand or mount with the mount, as was the case with other piezzo attachments (because only this type of attachment makes sense). This model is the best in every respect. I am really impressed. recommend
