<p>It won't be for a while. I have some xmass stuff to build. My plan is for a 3 way blender with each having its own volume control, so yeah I hope I can have each one on its own or have all 3 at different levels.</p>

<p>Please come back and tell us how it worked. Will it switch so you can hear it isolated?</p>

<p>Not yet. But I plan on inserting one deep into a heel lamination, tightly packed in there just to see what the results would be for blending with a pup and a piezo. </p>
<p>I have no idea what the results would be but I wanna try it!</p>

<p>Hi Danny,</p>
<p>Condenser mics generally are very sensitive, capture every noise and are somewhat biased toward higher frequencies as a general rule.</p>
<p>Honestly haven't tried it, but inside might not be a great solution, probably boomy and not a very desirable tone, while close mic'ed outside similar to what is shown in that image might work pretty well tone wise, but be aware it would potentially capture a lot of surrounding/background sounds as well as the desired acoustic sound of…</p>
<p>Hi Danny,</p>
<p>Condenser mics generally are very sensitive, capture every noise and are somewhat biased toward higher frequencies as a general rule.</p>
<p>Honestly haven't tried it, but inside might not be a great solution, probably boomy and not a very desirable tone, while close mic'ed outside similar to what is shown in that image might work pretty well tone wise, but be aware it would potentially capture a lot of surrounding/background sounds as well as the desired acoustic sound of the instrument.</p>
<p>Every solution seems to involve a balance of compromises. For recording, in a quiet space, preferably not too "lively" of an acoustic space, that arrangement should work well. (Depending of course also on your intentions for mixing or post production processing etc.)</p>
<p>For recording live with other instruments, you might consider a more directional mic that isn't likely to capture the sound of a car going by a half mile away..........</p>
<p>OK, shorter answer: Depends.</p>
