The actual miking distances which
correspond to these categories will
depend greatly on characteristics of the
recording environment, especially on
its size and reverberance. Each of these
capsules, when used at appropriate
distance, will have a well-balanced
overall response given the mixture of
direct and reflected sound energy typ-
ical of that distance.
Note: Since the microphones have
some directionality at high frequencies,
it is still necessary to aim them at the
sound source.”
Uses:
CCM 2: relatively close miking of
instruments, vocalists, etc.
CCM 2H, 2S, 3: “spaced micro-
phone” stereo pickup and “Decca
Tree” arrangements
CCM 3: as CCM 2H; room microphone
