placement for the

The trumpet can put out sound pressure levels up
to 130 dB. In order to prevent overload distortion
aim, the microphone at the lower rim of the bell.
Optimum working distance is 12 to 20 inches.
On stage, you may have to move as close as
2 inches to the microphone in order to avoid
getting feedback or spillover from other in-
struments. In this situation, make sure not to blow
right into the microphone.
If you get too much blowing noise, use an extra
windscreen, e.g., the optional W 880 from AKG.
