1. Clamp the D 409 on the bell.
2. Aim the D 409 at the rim of the bell.
3. Point a stand-mounted microphone (e.g., a
C 5900 or C 535 from AKG) at the keys.
If you prefer not to use an extra stand-mounted
microphone, you can use a single D 409 instead:
1. Clamp the microphone on the bell so that the
microphone will look at the outside of the clari-
net.
2. Point the microphone at the lowest key. This is
the only area where all frequencies are radiated
at approximately equal intensity.
1. Clamp the microphone on the bell.
2. Experiment to find the optimum microphone
position.
