The microphone setups selected to be included in Broadway LITEs™ were not selected arbitrarily. These seem to be the most commonly used, and they sound well when combined together. For the tenor trombone, tenor saxophone and alto saxophone in Broadway LITEs™ we included the Mic-3 setup (Loose mic) For the trumpets, clarinet and other saxophones, we included the Mic-1 setup (Close mic).
