C 562BL 2262Z0001

• Thin case

• Extended bass and high end

• Frequency independent hemispherical polar pattern

• High sensitivity

• Excellent workmanship, high SPL capability

The C 562 BL is an excellent tool for getting uncolored

recordings of acoustic instruments or a choir. Here are

some examples: 1) Choir/brass section: Mount two

C 562 BLs on a reﬂecting surface, about 3 to 5 feet

(1 to 1.5 m) apart (A-B stereo technique). Place the choir

or brass section about 7 to 10 feet (2 to 3 m) in front of the

mics. 2) Acoustic guitar: Mount a single C 562 BL on a

reﬂecting surface at the same height as the guitarist’s

seat. Place the mic about 1 to 1 1/2 feet (30 to 40 cm) from

the guitar. Many engineers use this as a spot/ambience

microphone in a main microphone setup. This technique

works best in rooms with good acoustics.
