achieved when the microphone is placed closer to the soundboard.
If it is possible to remove the piano lid, an SF-12 suspended
horizontally over the soundboard will give outstanding results.
If the room sounds good, try positioning the mic 10 to
20 feet from the piano for more room ambience.
If you position the SF-12 under the open lid of the piano, there
will be some amount of reflected sound from the lid. Careful
positioning can minimize or accentuate lid reflections, depending
on what sound you’re striving for.
Choir and Orchestra
An SF-12 can produce dramatically good recordings of an
orchestra or choir. If possible, position the SF-12 at approximately
ten feet high and a few feet behind the conductor. The wide
stereo pickup will reproduce the orchestra or choir with a stunning
you-are-there realism. The rear lobes of the figure-8 elements
bring the ambient qualities of the recording environment
into the recording, adding to the natural feel of the recorded
performance.
Percussion
The SF-12 records percussion instruments naturally, without
upper frequency hype or low-end boominess. Congas, bongos
and the like can be recorded with left/right stereo effect by
positioning the mic within a few feet of the instruments. Shakers,
bells, triangles and other instruments that are often problematic
in the upper frequencies will record naturally and unabrasively.
Vocal with Acoustic Guitar
For recording a vocal with acoustic guitar, two separate mono
tracks are required with little leakage between the tracks. One
stand and one SF-12 can do the job nicely
when the two axes of sensitivity are correctly
oriented (see illustration).
Note:
The SF-12 is not recommended for close-
miking loud amplified instruments. Its
sensitive ribbon elements were not designed
for extremely high SPL applications like
close-miked electric guitar. For close-miking
high SPL sound sources, ruggedness is a
