Car Kit Microphone Positioning

[sonixtorm]

Has anyone got any tips in terms of Mic positioning for a Bluetooth Car Kit? My first thought was to put it near the sun visor, but I am just wondering if a lower position might be better given the wind noise through the soft top. I know it's never going to be great with the top down, but any tips/experience would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Just below halfway down on the A pillar works great, even with the roof off
Actually if the windows are up it can sometimes be better with the roof off

Thanks - that will save me a lot of experimentation  s:) s:)  Installed a Pioneer FH-P80BT last night and plan to wire the Mic through at the weekend. Been really impressed with the head unit so far.

I have my mic clipped into the lower part of the instrument binnacle below the rev counter.....Seems to work great top up or down.

Good idea. I put it where you suggest temporarily as it was easy to run through - as you say, works great and I may be tempted to leave it there  s:) s:)

+1. Works really well, although i have mine higher up the pillar as I'm a tad taller than Danny. Top down is clearer because you don't get the ducking electronics kicking in to counteract resonance and drumming in the cockpit.
