2. Example of Horizontal PositionTechnique

3. Side View of Kick Drum miking Technique
A) Close miking - angle mic so that pressure wave iss off-axis
B) Standard miking position

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

4. Horizontal Positioning Technique
Applied to kick drum - similar to that utilized for other loud or
percussive instrument

Страница 12: ...ne Unlike standard ribbon microphones that require a proper impedance match to deliver optimal performance the input impedance of your preamplifier will have minimal affect on the R 122V s operational performance because the ribbon element is loaded perfectly via the microphone s electronics package However preamplifier impedances below 2 000 ohms will impair headroom Careful consideration should ...
