Percussion
• Place a CM-700, CM-150, or GLM-100 about 1 foot
away.
• Tape a PZM on the musician's shirt.

• Place one or two PZMs on a distant wall, or on the
control-room window.
Grand piano
• Raise the lid. Tape a GLM-100, PZM-6D, or PZM-
30D to the underside of the lid in the middle. For
stereo, use two over the bass and treble strings
(Figure 9-A). If you need more isolation, close the
lid. Boost a few dB at 10 kHz for clarity.
• Raise or remove the lid. Place two CM-700s,
CM-150s, or GLM-100s eight inches over the bass
and treble strings, 8-inches horizontally from the
hammers (Figure 9-B). Boost a few dB at 10 kHz for
clarity.
• Remove the lid. Place two GLM-100s or CM-150's
about 12 inches apart, angled 90° apart, 18 inches
over the soundboard and 10 inches horizontally
from the hammers. Boost a few dB at 10 kHz for
clarity.
Upright Piano
• Remove the panel in front of the player to expose the
strings. Place two mics (CM-200A, CM-700, GLM-
100, or CM-150) over the bass and treble strings
(Figure 10 A or B).
• Face the soundboard toward the room (not next to a
wall). Mike the soundboard a few inches from the
bass and treble strings (Figure 10-C).
