Microphone Use and Placement
Please note that micing techniques are a matter of personal preference. These are merely guidelines to assist in the placement of the
microphone to gain optimal performance.
Usage
Optimal Placement
Kick Drum
Remove drum head and damp with a pillow or blanket. Position the mic on the pillow or
blanket a few inches in front of the drum beater. As an alternative, position the mic on a
small boom stand with the mic extended into the drum and at a 90° angle to the drum
batter head.
Standard Placement & Use Guidelines
1. Always point the microphone at the desired source of sound, and away from any unwanted sources.
2. The microphone should be located close to the sound source to minimize interference from other potential sound sources.
3. Use the 3-to-1 rule when using multiple microphones. Place each microphone three times farther from other microphones as from
the desired sound source.
4. Minimize over-handling of the microphone to reduce unwanted mechanical noise.
