Microphone Placement and Tone Quality
Listed are some common microphone placement techniques. Use these sugges-
tions as a guide and let your ears determine what works best
in
your situation.
• Sound source less than 6 inches away from
mic-Full
sound, pronounced
bass, increased isolation from background noise.
• Sound source 6 inches to 2 feet away from
mic.-Balanced
natural sound, less
bass, some background noise.
• Sound source 3 to 6 feet
away.
from
mic-Thinner
ambient sound.
Guidelines for Microphone Use
• Aim the microphone at the desired source. Keep unwanted sound sources at a
135° angle from the front of the microphone (see polar pattern).
• Place the microphone as close to the sound source as possible.
• Use the proximity effect to your advantage: The closer the mic
is
to the sound
source, the more emphasized the bass response will
be.
• Use a windscreen to suppress unwanted wind noise.
• Never cup your hand over the microphone grill.
Operating Notes
• The
R21
will boost bass frequencies when the microphone
is
between
0-6
inches from the sound source.
As
you move the sound source further away
from the microphone, the bass response will gradually roll
off.
• The
R21
has a built-in wind screen which protects against most wind and
breathing noise. Under adverse conditions, such as high winds,
an
optional
foam windscreen can be used.
• For maximum signal handling capability and minimal distortion, a minimum
load impedance of 800 ohms should be used. A reduction
in
output signal
strength and output clipping level will result with the load at 150 ohms.
