The gooseneck securing part can be angled 90 degrees offering maxi-
mum placement possibilities. Detach the part from the clip and re-mount
it turned 90 degrees for a horizontal gooseneck arm.
Application note
Close-miking instruments like oboe, clarinet, soprano saxophone, and
bassoon calls for a certain care in the placement and angling of the mi-
crophone. The d:vote 4099 holds a supercardioid directionality and may
end up creating an uneven timbre.
Tip: Create as much distance as possible with the gooseneck and place
the mic head above the bell. Twist it backwards to the instrument and
point it towards the upper joint (the keys closest to the mouthpiece).
In this way the entire instrument range will be covered most naturally.
Place the hook-and-loop fastener around the instrument and insert the
end into the opening below the gooseneck. Tight firmly if necessary by
pushing the holder at the same time.
