Designed to yield outstanding performance in applications
requiring the miking of acoustic and electric instruments,
as well as vocal performances. Excellent for stage or studio,
the Co4’s versatility will make it a “must have” in any 
microphone mix.

Please note that miking techniques are a matter of personal
preference. These are merely guidelines to assist in the 
placement of the microphone to gain optimal performance.

Place microphone approximately 1-2" from and at

a 90° degree angle to the speaker cone.

To reduce boominess, move the microphone off
axis to the cone from 90° to 45°, or move mic 
from center of cone to either edge.

On double headed Toms place mic over the top of
drum 1-3" and at a 45° angle to the drum surface
and 1-2" in from the drum edge. On single headed
Toms use above method or place mic inside Tom
from underneath at a 90° angle from the center of
head, 3-5", away.

Place mic 1-3" above the heads, 1-2" in from the
rim. Aim each mic at the top heads angled down
about 45°. If the drum rings, tape deadening 
material to the head or use damping rings.
For more “snare” sound place a 2nd mic 
underneath aimed up at the bottom of head.

Place microphone one to two feet above the 
top of cymbals.

Place 5 inches above outside edge at a 
45° down angle.

6-24" away, and on axis with the bell of 
the instrument.

Place mic 6-12" from where finger board 
joins the body.
