Page 6: Mounting On Instrument
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 application 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. - Page 7 Application note, snare drum A snare drum may benefit from a two-microphone setup, one on top and one below the drum; the upper mic will focus on the “in-your-face” punch and the lower mic on the snare high-frequency bite from below the drum.

Adjusting the gooseneck and microphone angle The gooseneck can flex in all directions. Bend the gooseneck to fit the natural curves of the instrument. Turn the microphone to the desired angle. Application notes For trumpet, trombone, and instruments of similar sizes: For the smooth- est sound, do not point the microphone directly into the center of the bell, but position it between the center position and the bell’s edge. - Page 13 The gooseneck securing part can be angled 90 degrees offering maxi- mum placement possibilities. Detach the part from the clip and re-mount it turned 90 degrees for a horizontal gooseneck arm. Application note Close-miking instruments like oboe, clarinet, soprano saxophone, and bassoon calls for a certain care in the placement and angling of the mi- crophone.
