AKG D 440 User Instructions page 19

Loudspeakers radiate high frequencies within a
very narrow angle.
Place the microphone about 2 to 6 inches in front
of the loudspeaker diaphragm and aim the micro-
phone at the center of the diaphragm.
1. To prevent the top head from ringing excessively,
tape a strip of felt or a piece of tissue paper to the
skin in an off-center position.
2. Screw the supplied H 440 bracket to the stand
adapter on the microphone using the captive
knurled-head screw on the H 440 bracket.
