Meteor Mics, try one positioned at the fingerboard and the second over the bridge of the guitar,
or have one microphone positioned close to the guitar and the second a few feet away to pick up
the sound of the room, blending the two sources together .
Piano
The grand piano is a very challenging instrument to capture, and can be miked in a variety of
ways . For close miking the piano, position the Meteor Mic just inside the piano, centered be-
tween the soundboard and the open lid . The closer you move the microphone toward the instru-
ment the more low frequencies the microphone will pick up . For an ambient recording like that
used in a classical performance, position the microphone outside the piano, facing into the open
lid . For a more contemporary ensemble sound, place two Meteor Mics in the piano, positioning
one over the low strings and one over the high strings at a distance of 6–12 inches apart . When
miking an upright piano with a single microphone, position the microphone just above and in
front of the piano with the top open, centered over the instrument . If you have a pair of Meteor
Mics, position the microphone over the open top of the piano with one microphone over the bass
strings and one over the high strings . You can also position two mics in front of the kickboard
area approximately 8 inches over the bass and high strings .
