Ben,
What do you mean "at a console". Also, the mic is stuffed into foam,
so in a sense, it is suspended. It works fairly well. My mic used to
have a rubber gizmo that actually suspended it. I don't have that
anymore - it wore out. Also, it was difficult to keep it from turning
and facing in the wrong direction. I don't have the choice of using a
mic on a stand, because I often need to move a little on stage, and
it is difficult to keep playing into the mic.

At a console, I usually engage the highpass filter to deal with
this. It is
basically an EQ that I can set which will allow frequencies above a
certain
point through. For a clarinet, I usually set it at about 150 Hz
(about an
octave below middle C). A microphone where the mic is in some sort of
suspension will help. Even a mic on a stand or mounted on you (as a
lav mic
like I mentioned earlier) will also obviously fix that issue. Otherwise
lighter fingering is what is needed... :-)
