Saxophone:
Clip the C 419 L on to the bell of the saxophone, align it with
the edge and listen to the sound to identify the best position.
For subtone playing, turn the microphone toward the center
of the bell (marked wind noise!).
Trombone:
Clip the C 419 L on to the bell of the trombone, and try out
different positions to identify the ideal one. When playing
with a mute, bend the gooseneck out of the "danger area."
Tubas:
Clip the C 419 L on to the bell of the instrument, and try out
different positions. If you get a lot of wind noise, adjust the
microphone to align with the edge or use a windscreen.
Clarinet:
Always use two microphones.
Direct one microphone (e.g., C 535 or C 5900) toward the
keys, the other toward the bell – the C 419 L is ideally suit-
ed for this purpose.
Trumpet:
Clip the C 419 L on to the bell of the trumpet. Use the goose-
neck to position the microphone as far away from the instru-
ment as possible, but turn it toward the bell. The ultimate
sound will depend on the microphone position – just try it
out!
Flute:
Direct the C 420 L toward the embouchure. Slightly turn to
one side to reduce wind noise if necessary.
