Flute; Clarinet - AKG Acoustics C 414 LTD Mode D'emploi

We recommend using
two microphones.
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 sin-
gle microphone, place
the microphone as mic 1
above at a distance of
about 7 to 8 1/2 feet (2 to
2.5 m) above the floor.
Point the microphone at
the lowest key. To mini-
mize key noise, place the
microphone a little ways
to the side of the instru-
ment.
