• Point the microphone at the low-
est key.
• To minimize key noise, place the
microphone a little ways to the
side of the instrument.

dle of the instrument from a dis-
tance of about 2 to 3 1/2 feet
(50 cm to 1 m).

• Aim a single PERCEPTION 820
TUBE or a stereo pair (see section
4.4.2 Choir) at the middle strings
from a height of 5 to 7 feet (1.5 to
2 m).
• For a rock/pop sound, place two
microhones roughly 8 to 16 in.
(20 to 40 cm) above the strings.
• Align mic 1 with the treble strings
and mic 2 with the bass strings,
both at a point about 6 inches
(15 cm) behind the dampers.
