Re: Where to aim microphone

Author: JMason

I play in a church and I have an AKG C 519 ML $189.00 clipped to the music stand at the bottom where the 90 degree part comes out, the part were the music sits, and it works great. I record all my performances so I know the mic sounds good.

(OK the reason I record all my performances is as a learning tool. I listen to each recording with the music and critique my self, what I did wrong and what I did right. Some people do not like to listen to themselves play but I find it highly enlightening. )

The AGK C 519 is a condenser type mic but it has a plastic body around it so it just picks up sounds from the front. I have a trumpet sitting next to me and I get almost no pickup from him. I run the mic into a separate channel on the sound board so I can listen to just my channel and get no trumpet sound.

So with only about a foot between me an the mic with the mic height around the bottom 3rd of the clarinet it picks up all notes low and high and I can move around a little bit left to right and not effect the sound.

I hope this helps.
