Trumpet/Trombone; Grand And Upright Pianos - AKG C214 Bedienungsanleitung

Place the microphone about
1 ft. (30 cm) in front of the in-
strument, slightly off the bell
axis. Switch in one of the preat-
tenuation pads.
Using the supplied windscreen
will help reduce blowing noise.
Grand piano:
Aim a single C 214 or an XY or
ORTF pair of C 214s at the
middle strings from a height
of 5 to 7 ft. (1.5 to 2 m).
For a rock/pop sound, place two
C 214s roughly 8 to 16 in. (20 to
40 cm) above the strings. Align
mic 1 with the treble strings and
mic 2 with the bass strings, both
at a point about 6 in. (15 cm) be-
hind the dampers.
Upright piano:
Use the same technique as for
the grand. Open the lid and
have the microphones "peek
into the instrument" from
above.
