Positioning the microphone
Wind instruments
To reduce ambient noise (at the expense of the true
“Saxophone sound”) direct the microphone into the bell.
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 120°; see polar diagram).

For a Saxophone, the

towards the body of
the instument.
