Flute; Clarinet; Tenor And Soprano Saxophones - AKG C214 Mode D'emploi

3 Using the Microphone

3.5.6 Flute

We recommend using two mi-
crophones.
Place mic 1 above and to one
side of the player (to reduce
blowing noise) and align it with
the player's mouth, and aim
mic 2 at the instrument from
the side.
If you prefer to use a single mi-
crophone, place the micro-
phone as mic 1 above at a
distance of about 7 to 8 1/2 ft.
(2 to 2.5 m) above the floor.

lowest key. To minimize key
noise, place the microphone a
little ways to the side of the in-
strument.
