Mounting on instrument
The enclosed clip fits most drums and percussion instruments
and can be mounted two ways, either upwards or downwards:
Clip mounted upwards.
Upward turning clip positioning allows for mic placements
across the drum skin and will be the most typical live applica-
tion choice for rock. Point the microphone to the middle of
the drum to get more low-end richness or to the edge to get
more crispy bite.
Clip mounted downwards.
Downward turning clip positioning allows for mic placements a
little further away from the drum and will be a preferred choice
for most invisible placements suitable for TV productions. Soni-
cally, this position will also often be the choice for jazz.
