Placing Your  
Microphone

The optimal position for your microphone 

relative to the sound source depends on a few 

factors, but it is mostly a matter of trial and 

error.

Experiment with different distances and 

positions to see which sounds best, but keep 

the following things in mind.

Cardioid

Cardioid microphones are more sensitive to 

sounds that are in front of it. Sounds from 

behind the microphone will be slightly muted.

 

à

Cardioid microphones are great for vocal 

or speech recording.

 

à

When using a microphone for vocal or 

speech work, the closer you are to the 

microphone the more likely it will pick 

up “plosives” when recording. Consider
