Applications cont’d
Piano
Several placement approaches can be used depending on the size of the piano, and the
type of sound you are looking to record. When miking a Grand Piano, (for an ambient
sound like that used in a classical recital), with the piano lid open, position the Go
Mic directly in front of the instrument at a distance five to twenty feet in front of the
instrument. For a more contemporary ensemble sound, place the Go Mic as close to or
inside the piano.
Full Band
Because of its wide frequency response and fast transient response, the Go Mic performs
outstandingly when used to capture a band’s live performance. You can position the Go
Mic on a mic stand facing the enseumble at a distance of six to twelve feet. You can
experiment with the exact placement depending on the size of the room and whether
you’re looking for an ambient or close-miked sound.
