Recording Musical Instruments - Harman AKG MICROLITE Serie Manual De Uso

8.3.4 Recording musical instruments

The microphone can be attached to a variety of different instru‑
ments (e.g. string instruments, guitars, wind instruments).
You only need to rotate the gain controller on the mixing console
slightly because the microphone is located very close to the sound
source.
For this reason, feedback occurs only in very low levels in PA
systems.
Attach the microphone to different positions on the instrument
and compare the sound to determine the optimal position of the
microphone on an instrument.
You can use the supplied wind screen on wind instruments to
dampen the sounds of rushing air.
Violin
The microphone can be fastened to the performer's cheek using a
piece of tape if the microphone cannot or should not be attached
to the violin itself.
Alternatively, you can use the ear clip or the headworn microphone.
