Zen	Amplifying a mandolin (59* d)	RE: Amplifying a mandolin	16 May 10
Depending on which mandolin I'm using, these days either a Microvox powered instrument condenser mic with preamp (it's a modified viola mic that clamps onto the edge of the instrument with the mic positioned over the treble side f-soundhole on my A5 style) or a Shure SM57 (more often with the flattop). These either through my Yamaha StagePas 300 mini-PA or Ashdown acoustic amp (via XLR-XLR in both cases) according to the gig and then on to bigger PA if necessary. I now much prefer the sound of a mic for the mandolin. I don't like the sound of piezo pickups on the mandolin anymore (although the PUTW 27 transducer I used to use had quite a good sound). Zen
