5.1 Microphone Types
If you are using a new or nonstandard type of microphone (e.g.,
USB, headset, laser, MEMS), please consult your microphones users
manual for power requirement and compatibility information.
Regardless of the microphone type you are using, we recommend
reading your microphone’s users manual thoroughly before engaging
phantom power and in case other usage questions arise.
5.1.4 Microphone Placement
The following are a few recording applications to help you get started with
your AudioBox 22/44VSL. These are by no means the only ways to record these
instruments. Microphone selection and placement is an art. For more information,
visit your library or local bookstore, as there are many books and magazines
about recording techniques. The Internet is also a great source of recording
information, as are instructional videos. Some of these microphone-placement
suggestions can be used in live applications, as well as for studio recording.
Grand Piano
Place one microphone above the high strings and one
microphone above the low strings. Experiment with
distance (the farther back the more room you will
capture). This technique can be used for live and
studio applications.
Electric Guitar
Place a dynamic microphone an inch or two away
from the speaker of the guitar amplifier. Experiment
with exact location. If you are recording an amp with
multiple speakers, experiment with each one to see if
one sounds better than the others. Place a condenser
microphone approximately six feet away, pointed at
the amp. Experiment with distance. Also experiment
with inverting the phase of the room microphone to
check for phase cancellation and reinforcement.
(Select the “fuller”-sounding position.) To use this
technique in a live application, omit the condenser
microphone.
