2. The saxohone family
soprano:
For a round and warm character, place the 4099 Sax
microphone as far away from the bell as possible. Place it in front
of the bell for a harder sound with more bite.
alto/Tenor/Baritone:
For most balanced sound, do not point the
microphone directly into the bell, but angle it between the bell
and the keys. In this way you will obtain a nice blend from the two
sound components of the saxophone.
All types of mutes can be used together with the 4099.
3. Violin and viola
Most players prefer the 4099 to be placed on the left side of the
instrument to avoid restricting the player’s movement. Point the
microphone away from the performer’s head to avoid breath noise.
For optimum volume, point the microphone toward the f-hole.
Please note that this also makes the sound character a little duller,
which may or may not suite your taste. If not, point the microphone
at the bridge.
