Since the clarinet radiates low frequencies
through the keys and high frequencies through the
bell only, we recommend to use two microphones:
1. Clamp the C 419
2. Aim the C 419
3. Point a stand-mounted microphone (e.g., a
C 5900 or C 535 from AKG) at the keys.
If you do not wand to use an extra stand-mounted
microphone, you can use a single C 419
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.
