The best way to get the "right" sound is to experi-
ment with microphone placement. The following
sections contain useful suggestions based on
proven miking techniques.
1. Mount the microphone on a boom stand (e.g.,
the optional ST 102A from AKG).
2. Place the microphone above the cymbal at a
distance roughly equal to the radius of the
cymbal.
3. Align the microphone with the outer rim of the
cymbal.
