The following sections contain suggestions for
placing the microphone optimally for a number of
instruments.
Please note that moving the microphone closer to
the instrument will boost the bass range. (This is
known as "proximity effect".)
Microphone: D 77 S
Working distance
Jazz/pop: 1 to 2 inches. Blow a little below the
microphone to avoid overemphasizing blow-
ing and breathing noise.
Classical music: 4 to 8 inches above the instru-
ment.
Microphones: D 22, D 77 S
Working distance
0 to 2 inches: The microphone will pick up the bell
sound only.
2 to 8 inches: The microphone will pick up both
the bell sound and the sound radiated from
the keys.
Microphone: D 77 S
Working distance: "zero" - clamp the micro-
phone between your hands. You will get a very
direct sound that you can "shape" with your
hands.
Microphone: D 22 (trumpet), D 11 (tuba and
trombone)
Working distance
0 to 2 inches: The microphone will pick up the bell
sound only.
2 to 8 inches: The microphone will pick up both
the bell sound and the sound radiated from
the body.
