28 C314
Using the Microphone
Aim one C314 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) at the sound hole. Aim a small
diaphragm microphone (e.g., a C451B) at a point near the sound hole or bridge
from a distance of about 3 to 3 1/2 feet (50 cm up to 1 m).
Flute
Figure 9: Using a single microphone to mic up a flute.
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 single 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.
Clarinet
Figure 10: Clarinet
Point the microphone at the lowest key. To minimize key noise, place the
microphone a little ways to the side of the instrument.
