Flute

Figure 9: Using a single microphone to mic up a flute.
We recommend using two microphones.
Place mic 1 above and to one side of the player (to
reduce blowing noise) and align it with the player's
mouth, and aim mic 2 at the instrument from the side.
If you prefer to use a single microphone, place the
microphone as mic 1 above at a distance of about 7 to
8 1/2 feet (2 to 2.5 m) above the floor.

side of the instrument.
