Optimal Placement and Frequency Response

To capture the clarinet’s full tonal range, professional setups often use two capsules simultaneously: one near the bell to capture the lower registers and overall resonance, and another near the key area to record the higher notes and subtle overtones. Proper placement ensures that the expressive nuances of the instrument are faithfully preserved.

Why ECM-DM2025-2K600 Excels in Professional Use

With its unidirectional pattern, the capsule minimizes ambient noise, making it suitable for both studio recording and live performance. The high SPL tolerance ensures that even dynamic passages remain distortion-free, while the compact 8.8g design allows easy installation on clip-on mounts or custom instrument rigs. For brands, audio equipment manufacturers, and professional studios seeking reliable components, the 20mm dynamic microphone capsule offers an ideal combination of precision and versatility.

Professional Application Tips

When integrating this capsule into a clarinet microphone system, consider the following for optimal results:

  • Use two capsules for full-range pickup: one at the bell and one near the key area.
  • Ensure secure mounting to prevent handling noise.
  • Positioning slightly off-axis from the direct airflow helps reduce distortion while retaining tonal clarity.
  • Combine with professional preamps and mixer settings to maximize the capsule’s frequency response.

These strategies ensure that both the deep warmth and the bright clarity of the clarinet are captured accurately.
