Acoustic Guitar

4.5.5 Acoustic Guitar
Figure 7: Miking an acoustic guitar with a single C214
Place the microphone 20 to 40 in. (0.5 to 1 m) away from the guitar and aim it obliquely at
a point between the sound hole and neck.
Using two microphones gives you even better control of the sound.
Point a C214 at the sound hole from a distance of one to two feet (30 to 60 cm).
Place a small diaphragm microphone (e.g., a C451 B) 20 to 40 in. (0.5 to 1 m) away from
the guitar and align it with a point between the sound hole and neck.

Flute

4.5.6 Flute
Figure 8: Miking the flute with a single microphone
We recommend using two microphones.
Direct Microphone 1 toward the player's mouth at an angle from above (little breath
noise), and Microphone 2 at the instrument from the side.

If you prefer to use a single microphone,
place the microphone as mic 1 above at a distance of about 7 to 8 1/2 ft. (2 to 2.5 m)
above the floor.
