Example of Horizontal Positioning Technique

Angling the micro-
phone slightly will
minimize stressing the
ribbon. Due to the
microphone’s pickup
pattern, sound will not
be affected.

Side View of Kick Drum Miking Technique
A)

Close miking—angle mic so that pressure wave is off-axis

B

) Standard miking position

Horizontal Positioning Technique

Applied to kick drum— similar to that utilized for other loud
or percussive instruments
