POLAR PATTERNS:
For optimal sound quality,
Headway recommends that, if used, microphones should
be used externally and with Uni-Directional, Cardiod and
Hyper Cardiod polar patterns, such as the DPA 4099 with
its soft external body clip option
Omni-Directional mic's may produce a natural sound at
low cost but their feedback headroom is the lowest of any
such device
FREE STANDING FULL SIZED/LARGE DIAPHRAM
MIC'S
: Headway recommends full sized/large diaphram,
Uni-directional Condenser or Ribbon Mics mounted on
standard microphone stands or with Proel's Guitar body
mounting bracket. External Mics will still be prone to
feedback compared to pickups however, they should
sound better than internal Mics
DPA:
Headway recommends Miniature Instrument
Microphones by DPA which are true
Condensers(HyperCardiod)
HE4
: Headway's "HE4" range of Co-axial Piezo Cable
Under Saddle pickups for acoustic instruments offer a
more natural sound than flat pickups, sensing in 360
degrees (see website for full range)
REVERB
: A quality digital reverb (e.g. Lexicon) with a
slow natural decay, on a Room/Hall reverb setting a little
larger than the ambience of the space you are performing
in, can add the impression of "air" in the sound
