Trumpet; Piano; Cleaning - AKG MicroMic C 519 M User Instructions

• Place the microphone as far away from the in-
strument as possible and aim the microphone
at the bell.
The best way to capture the full range of the piano
is to use two microphones:
1. Clamp one microphone on the frame above the
bass strings.
2. Clamp the second microphone on the frame
strut in the octave above Middle C.
3. Align the two microphones so that all notes will
be reproduced at roughly the same level.
To clean the microphone surface, use a soft cloth
moistened with water.
