608
The super-cardioid 608 is a dynamic microphone ideal
for almost invisible clip-miking of drums, percussions,
brass and woodwind (except certain flutes). The goose-
neck mounting enables the capsule to be positioned close
to the signal source for high realism and high-level
output.
Extensive damping and shock mounting isolates the
capsule and signal from extraneous vibrations, impact and
handling noise. The humbucking coil protects against
electromagnetic interference.

sound
For a Saxophone, the
microphone should
normally be directed
partly towards the
bell and partly
towards the body of
the instument.
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).
