The gooseneck securing part can be angled 90 degrees of-
fering maximum placement possibilities. Detach the part from
the clip and re-mount it turned 90 degrees for a horizontal
gooseneck arm.
Application note
Close-miking instruments like oboe, clarinet, soprano saxophone,
and bassoon calls for certain care in the placement and angling
of the microphone. The 4099 holds a supercardioid directional-
ity and may end up creating an uneven timbre.
Tip: Create as much distance as possible with the gooseneck
and place the mic head above the bell. Twist it backwards to the
instrument and point it towards the upper joint (the keys closest
to the mouthpiece). In this way the entire instrument range will
be covered most naturally.
Place the hook-and-loop fastener around the instrument and
insert the end into the opening below the gooseneck.
Tight firmly if necessary by pushing the holder at the same time.
