Fig. 4: Miking up
the hi-hat.
Refer to fig. 4.
1. Mount the microphone on a boom stand (e.g.,
the optional ST 102A from AKG).
2. Place the microphone approximately 2 inches
above the open hi-hat.
3. Align the microphone with the perimeter of the
cymbals.
Make sure to point the microphone away from
the snare drum to obtain good acoustic sepa-
ration.
To clean the microphone case, use a soft cloth
moistened with water.
