Piano
To record a piano using a single microphone (see above), that microphone
should be placed approximately 60cm (or 2ʼ) above the centre of the sound-
board, aimed slightly towards the front of the piano.
To record the piano using X/Y Stereo technique, two NT2000ʼs should be
angled at 90-110 degrees to each other, over the hammers with one mic
aimed towards the lower strings and the other towards the high strings.
The gold dots should be directed down, towards the piano.
An effective stereo ambience may be achieved by recording lower keys on
the left and high keys on the right, placing the middle keys around the centre
of the recorded sound spectrum.
