AKG D 550 Mode D'emploi page 19

Loudspeakers radiate high frequencies within a
very narrow angle.
Place the microphone about 2 to 6 inches in front
of the loudspeaker diaphragm and aim the micro-
phone at the center of the diaphragm. The micro-
phone will capture the entire frequency range and
thus the pristine combined sound of the instru-
ment and amplifier.
You may mount the microphone on the boom of a
floor stand and align it as described above.
If you prefer a less visible alternative, we recom-
mend to mount the microphone on the optional
ST 305 floor stand or a table stand from AKG:
1. Screw at least one or, if necessary, both of the
two supplied StA 550 extension stubs on the
stand.
2. Screw the microphone on the extension stub.
3. Direct the microphone at the center of the
speaker diaphragm.
