Position  
Resulting sound  
Commentary  
Reduced ambient  
noise  
Use the MZH 908 B  
clamp to attach the  
microphone to the  
bell of the  
instrument.  
To reduce ambient  
noise (at the  
expense of the true  
“Saxophone  
Clear, powerful  
sound  
sound”) direct the  
microphone into the  
bell (as illustrated).  
Balanced, natural  
sound  
For a Saxophone,  
the microphone  
should normally be  
directed partly  
towards the bell and  
partly towards the  
body of the  
instument.

Drums / Percussions ( 908 D)  
Position  
Resulting sound  
Commentary  
More fundamental,  
little overtones  
Position on the  
drum:  
3–5 cm above the  
drumskin, directed  
towards the center  
of the drumskin, the  
fundamental to  
overtones ratio can  
be adjusted by  
Less fundamental,  
many overtones  
changing the angle  
of the microphone.  
The most balanced  
results are obtained  
at an angle of  
30–60°.  
Pronounced  
Optional:  
proximity effect  
tangential position  
of the gooseneck in  
order to reduce the  
distance to the  
drumskin.  
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. 180°; see polar diagram).

Attaching the microphone to the drum clamp  
Drums / Percussions ( 908 D)  
Position  
Commentary  
To attach the microphone to the drum  
clamp:  
Loosen the knurled screw. Insert the  
gooseneck of the microphone from the side  
into one of the two slots and tighten the  
knurled screw.  
You can attach two microphones to the  
drum clamp (e.g. for picking up two toms in  
cramped space conditions). To do so, use  
both slots of the drum clamp.

Optimum positioning of the microphone  
The various adjustment possibilities of the MZH 908 D  
and MZH 908 B clamps together with the flexible goose-  
neck enable the microphone to be optimally positioned  
on the sound source (see arrows in the diagrams below).
