Drum Overhead & Room
Position the SF-12 horizontally over the
center point of the kit, two to three feet
above the cymbals. For a centered snare
drum, aim the Royer logo at the snare.
Adjusting the height of the SF-12 by even
6-inch increments will produce dramatic
variations in how the cymbals sit with the
rest of the kit. Many times an overhead
SF-12 is all that is needed for tom-toms
and cymbals.
For a single point stereo room mic, position the SF-12 vertically
at four to eight feet in front of the kit. Compress to taste
for either a very natural drum sound (light compression) or
large rock drum sound (heavy compression).
For jazz recordings, EQ is generally not required. For more
aggressive drum tracks where cymbals need to sizzle, you can
brighten them by adding a few dB of 10K to 12K.
Brass
Brass records beautifully with ribbon microphones. For an
overall picture of a brass section within a larger recording session,
try placing the microphone two to three feet above the
instrumentalists and angled down, at a distance of three to eight
feet from the section. For a solo trumpet, position the SF-12
vertically at a height of four to eight feet and anywhere from
five to 20 or more feet from the section.
Close miking brass is a job for the Royer R-121, R-122, or
R-122V - we do not recommend close-miking with the SF-12.
Reed Instruments
Normal working distances are about a foot or two from a solo
reed instrument. For multiple instruments, try placing the
microphone slightly above the instrumentalists and angled
down, at a distance of two to four feet.
Piano
There are several positions that will give excellent results with
the piano. Start with a distance of one foot to several feet from
the bend of the piano. A more direct, up front sound will be
