Where should a drum mic be placed?
Place the mic 2 to 3 inches away from the inside head and a couple of inches off center. This is the standard way to mic a kick drum if you have the outside head off or if a hole is cut in it. This placement gives you a sharp attack from the beater hitting the head.
What is the best mic placement?
Your mic should be as close to your mouth as possible in order to only pick up the sound of you voice, and not the other sounds of the room. A good rule of thumb is to have the mic positioned about 6-12 inches away from your mouth.
How far should overhead mics be from cymbals?
The overhead technique is typically based around two mic’s placed a few feet above the cymbals. Some engineers will use two mic’s on two stands at roughly the 1/3 and 2/3 points across the drum kit from the front, and centered from the side. Another option is use two mic’s in the center in an X-Y pattern.
How close should you be to a condenser microphone?
6-12 inches
The ideal distance should be such that the microphone only picks up the sound of your voice while avoiding the other sounds of the room. The appropriate length for the most common microphone (a large-diaphragm condenser) is 6-12 inches away from your mouth.
How close should your mouth be to a mic?
Keep the microphone element about 1 to 3 inches away from your mouth. Point the front of the microphone toward your mouth. Don’t talk into the side of it. Be careful not to move the microphone or your head suddenly.
Can you record drums with a vocal mic?
Yes, you could use the mics as a stereo overhead pair, but there will be some sacrifice in the low end. You will not get enough kick drum in the mix. In this situation, I prefer to sacrifice the stereo drum sound and go for a more full-range mono sound.
How is the Audyssey MultEQ pro microphone calibrated?
Each microphone is calibrated by Audyssey and comes with a custom calibration curve that matches the microphone to a high-precision ¼” reference microphone. The calibration curve for the microphone is stored on the MultEQ Pro application CD included with the kit.
What’s the difference between a MultEQ mic and a satellite mic?
Since your speakers are in the ceiling it can be beneficial to tilt the mic back slightly so that sound from the speakers hits the mic at a grazing angle. The main difference between MultEQ and MultEQ XT is the resolution of the filters that is much higher in MultEQ XT. That becomes evident in the low frequency correction of the satellite speakers.
What’s the difference between a MultEQ and XT subwoofer?
The main difference between MultEQ and MultEQ XT is the resolution of the filters that is much higher in MultEQ XT. That becomes evident in the low frequency correction of the satellite speakers. They have identical performance in the subwoofer channel. I am new to this website / forum.
Why is the mic above the back of the seat?
The objective behind raising the mic above the backreat is in order to prevent the backrest itself influening the measurements. Even if placed in front of the seat, the backrest will still reflect or absorb audio and influence the calibration so it is better to raise the mic for all the positions and not just those behind the MLP.
