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
Overheads
Use two microphones in a 3:1 spacing position facing slightly away from each other.
High-Hat
Place microphone 3 to 6 inches from and at a 45° angle to cymbal edges.
Acoustic Guitar
Place microphone 6 to 24 inches from and pointed towards body end of finger board.
Strings
For small string instruments, place microphone 1 to 3 feet from and perpendicular to the soundboard,
pointing at the strings and f holes. Use similar microphone positioning for larger string instruments, but
6 to 8 feet away.
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.
