Some guidelines Use a cardioid microphone, aiming it slightly off-center, at the rim of the bell. The sound you will get depends on the working distance. When close miking the trumpet from 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm), we recommend to blow to one side of the microphone. Certain blowing techniques may cause eddies at the microphone. Using a windscreen can cut back the resulting noise. Be sure to switch the preattenuation pad in because both the trumpet and the trombone are capable of producing extremely high sound pressure levels up to 130 dB SPL. Seasoned recording engineers often use tube microphones such as the AKG SolidTube or AKG C 12 VR to mic these instruments. |
