royer Active Ribbon SF-2, Инструкция по эксплуатации и Руководство пользователя

Страница: 12 / 19

Choirs and Orchestras can be picked up very well with two SF-2’s. Place the microphones at a
distance of ten feet high, and a few feet behind the conductor. The microphones should be spaced
apart approximately one foot and angled, one toward the left and one toward the right.
Drums and Percussion instruments sound very natural when recorded with SF-2’s at a distance
of two to several feet. For a drum set, placing the microphone(s) at a distance of three to five feet
above the kit works very well. The SF-2 is not recommended for use as a kick drum mic or close
miking individual drums, toms, etc.
Recording Loud or Plosive Sounds
Always remember that with ribbon microphones, wind is the enemy! Air movement is far more
damaging to ribbon microphones than high SPL’s. Some sound sources can generate powerful
blasts of air that should be avoided. Kick drums, electric guitar and bass amplifiers should never
be close miked with an SF-2. Royer R-series mics are more suitable for these purposes.
