Positioning the microphone
Drums / Percussions
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 135°; see polar diagram)
Position Resulting sound Commentary
Natural, clear sound Position the microphone
a few centimetres above
the outer edge of the
hi-hat aiming down.
If necessary, remove
unwanted low-frequency
signal portions by high
pass filtering.
Attention: When closing
the hi-hat, a strong air
current is created on the
edge. If the microphone
is positioned too close to
the edge, interfering
noise due to the air
current can occur.
More fundamental,
little overtones
