We recommend using two micro-
phones.
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 instru-
ment from the side.
If you prefer to use a single micro-
phone, 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.
Point the microphone at the lowest
key. To minimize key noise, place
the microphone a little ways to the
side of the instrument.
Aim the microphone at the middle
of the instrument from a distance of
about 2 to 3 1/2 feet (50 cm to 1 m).
