Good day!!!
The monitor problem was not just mixer sound settings problem... The scene was supposed to be for 5 people at most, and we were 10... So with my right shoulder i could touch the sax player, with my left the acordion player, and i could feel the air from the bass's player amplifier... It was an impossible situation for the sound guy... and not suitable for a clarinet... Also, every instrument had its own mic ( i had a dynamic mic, but it still picked up sound from the sax next to me...)
About the barrel mic, its true that it does not pick up other instruments around, but it messes with the sound of the clarinet, and that i want to avoid... In case i don't find anything else, thats what i am gonna buy... I suppose that if i played ethnic, or jazz clarinet the barrel pickup would be my first choise... but i play mostly classical and some other kinds where the classical sound is important...
After reading the akg 519 manual, i found out that the mic, has a low sensitivity in low frequencies, and equal sesitivity in the high frequencies. Also, the bell produces the HIGH frequencies and each individual note holes the LOW freqs... Which was really controversial from what i really thought... Finally they propose to use 2 mics for the best result like fuzzy said, in order to have an uniform sound output, or one (the 519) targeted in the lowest hole (the tap of the low e) where is the place with the most uniform frequencies...
Anyway, i have a friend who uses the 519 for the clarinet and he is really happy with it. I hope to use it these days and tell you the results.
