Application Notes
Plano
You
can
achieve
outstanding
results
using
the
Go
Mic
on
acoustic
piano.
Several
placement
approaches
can
be
used
depending
on
the
size
of
the
piano,
and
the type of
sound
you
are
looking to
record.
When
miking a
Grand
Piano,
(for
an
ambient
sound
like
that
used
in
a
classical
recital),
a
Go
Mic
can
be
positioned
directly
in
front of the instrument.
Open
the
lid
to the
full position
and
place
the microphone five to twenty feet
in
front
of
the instrument.
For
a more contemporary ensemble
sound,
place
two
Go
Mics
in
the
piano,
positioning
one
over the low strings
and
the other over the high strings.
Overhead
Drum
Kit
Because
of
its extended high frequency
response
and
fast
transient
response,
the
Go
Mic
performs
outstandingly
when
used
as
an
overhead cymbal
microphone.
You
can
position
one
Go
Mic
on
a boom
mic
stand
directly
above
the kit pointing from front to
back.
For
stereo
miking,
use
two
Go
Mic's
placed
over the drum
set
at
a distance of three to five
feet.
You
can
experiment with the
exact
placement depending
on
the
size
of
the
room
and
whether you're looking for
an
ambient or
close-miked
sound.
In
general,
when miking
a drum kit, it's a good
idea
to start with the overhead
mics.
Even
though
you
use
the
overhead
mics
mostly for the
cymbals,
you
can
get the entire kit to
sound
great with just
one
overhead.
Then
it
will
be
easier
to just bring
up
your individual
mics
for more attack
and
thickness
In
the overall
sound.
