Percussion
On tambourine, shaker, bells, clave, and orchestral percussion, the
Woodpecker offers astounding clarity and realism. And
unlike most large diaphragm microphones, the
Woodpecker can be positioned quite close to a percussive
source without distortion or undue proximity effect. Start
by placing the microphone about a foot from percussive
instruments. Moving the mic closer will emphasize detail and tone, as
well as decreasing the proportion of ambient room sound on a track.
More distant placement will yield a natural, roomy sound that blends
easily with other rhythm instruments.
Care and Feeding
Your Woodpecker’s luxurious wood finish requires very little mainte-
nance. You may wish to occasionally wipe the exterior wood surface
with a damp cloth to keep it clean. Additionally, we recommend a mild
furniture polish sprayed onto a cloth and gently applied by hand to the
wood surface and the cherrywood storage box. DO NOT SPRAY ANY
SUBSTANCE DIRECTLY ONTO THE MIC SO AS TO AVOID ANY CON-
TACT WITH THE RIBBON! With proper care and maintenance, your
Woodpecker will last a lifetime. Enjoy!
It’s Organic!
Because the Woodpecker’s exterior is genuine wood, no two will be alike!
A high degree of variability in woodgrain patterns means
that Woodpeckers may differ greatly from one another,
and may not look exactly like the ones shown in the man-
ual. So enjoy your particular Woodpecker — there’s not
another one exactly like it in the world!
