Subj: Re: [kl] radio mic for/in barrel
Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 12:32:17 -0400

The only way I would mike a clarinet in the barrel is, if I didn't want the
sound to resemble a clarinet in anyway. I have found a really awsome set up
for clarinet amplification. It's a wireless AkG 419 instrument mic. I clip it
on the bell and the mic is positioned up over the right hand. It sounds very
acurate. I can run it though effects if I want. The main advantage the AKG
has over the SHURE system is that the mic is smaller and lighter, if clipped
on the bell it's not noticibly changing the balace of the clarinet. If you
play other instuments on a gig if is very fast to put on other things. It
does a pretty good job on bass clarinet when I run it through a slight amount
of compression (dbx 166). The Wm560 wireless mic system is a very good radio
sender reciever kit, the C419 mic plugs into a pak (the size of a cigarette
pak) the clips on your belt and a the reciever sits somewhere on stager or
rakmounted by the board. If you are looking to do special effects for modern
perfomance, you can set this mic so your playing is so quiet all you hear is
the effect.
