Hi Hat
The C5 is a perfect microphone for miking Hi Hats thanks to its smooth top end and the ability to capture fast attack
transients. Try placing the microphone over the edge of the top cymbal. Experiment by moving the mic further over the
cymbal to produce more of a stick sound, but keep in mind it may pick up more of the kit. Remember that the C5 has a
cardioid frequency response, so position the microphone in the direction of the Hi hat, but for increased separation, be
sure to point the mic away from other drums or cymbals whenever possible.
