The Saxophone Family - DPA 4099 Sax User Manual

2. The saxohone family
soprano: For a round and warm character, place the 4099 Sax
microphone as far away from the bell as possible. Place it in front
of the bell for a harder sound with more bite.
alto/Tenor/Baritone: For most balanced sound, do not point the
microphone directly into the bell, but angle it between the bell
and the keys. In this way you will obtain a nice blend from the two
sound components of the saxophone.
Trumpet and Trombone: For the smoothest 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.
