<p>The following audio examples were recorded with talented composer and multi-instrumentalist <a href="http://christianbolz.de">Christian Bolz</a> in his home studio, a carpeted 4x5m room with wood-panelled walls and ceiling. The microphones used were <a href="http://www.avantonepro.com">Avantone</a> CK1 small-diaphragm condensers.</p>

<p>This microphone setup used five Avantone CK1 microphones (with their cardioid capsules) to record the vertical dispersion characteristics of a Bb Clarinet and a Bass Clarinet.



<ul>

<li><strong>Vertical Dispersion On Axis:</strong> For these audio examples, all the mics were set up around 20cm from the instrument at different heights.</li>

</ul>

<p>This microphone setup used five Avantone CK1 microphones (with their cardioid capsules) to record the horizontal and vertical dispersion characteristics of the same two clarinets as in <a href="#Setup1Diagram">Multimic Setup 1</a>.



<ul>

<li><strong>Horizontal &amp; Vertical Dispersion:</strong> For this set of audio examples, the microphones were set up in a cross-shaped formation, with all mics pointing inwards towards the instrument from a distance of around 50cm. Mics B, D, and E were on-axis to the instrument; Mic A was around 40 degrees off-axis to the player's left; and Mic A was around 40 degrees off-axis to the player's right.</li>

</ul>
