Microphone Technique
General Tips for Using the Royer SF-12
The following are good basic starting places for recording with
the SF-12. These positions are known to produce good results,
but experimentation is the key to getting the most out of your
recordings! Photographs of many of the following techniques
can be found on our website, www.royerlabs.com
It is important to remember that the SF-12’s ribbon elements
can be damaged by wind. When the SF-12 is mounted on a
boom stand, be sure the stand is moved slowly. When the
microphone is taken down, put it in its box immediately or, if it
is to remain in its shock mount, place the mic sock over the ribbon
end of the microphone. Leaving the microphone out
unprotected is inviting a re-ribbon.
Ensemble Performances
The SF-12 records ensemble performances beautifully. Simply
find the point in the room where you hear the best blend of the
instruments and room sound and place the microphone there,
with its logo facing the performers.
Strings
For stereo recordings of stringed instruments, start by positioning
the microphone a few feet off the body of the instrument.
Depending on the acoustics of the room, you may want to move
the microphone closer to or further from the instrument to add
or minimize ambience. For violin, position the SF-24 horizontally,
two or more feet above the instrument. For larger string sections,
try placing the microphone slightly above the instrumentalists
and angled down; a distance of three or four feet willdo the job
nicely.
