Recording Techniques
The Meteor Mic is a great microphone choice for many instrument miking situations. Below is a
brief guide on using the Meteor Mic in some typical applications:
Vocals
Position the microphone directly in front of the artist so that the microphone grille is between
6 to 24 inches away. The closer the artist moves to the microphone, the more the bass or low
response increases; this is called proximity eect. To achieve the
fullest sound, the vocalist should aim the microphone center
line towards their mouth. If p-popping (turbulent bursts of air
produced when uttering consonants) is occurring, rotate the mi-
crophone a little bit away from the artist so that sound arrives at
the microphone slightly o-center. If space allows, it is preferable
to prevent p-popping through the use of an external pop lter
like the Samson PS01. If recording a group of singers, ensure that
they position themselves around the front of the microphone
close to one another.
