Placement
This section suggests microphone placement for typical use cases. Keep in mind that there are many effective ways to record
a given source. Experiment with microphone placement and settings to find what works best.
Podcast and Voice Recording
Set the microphone to the Voice mode. Speak directly into the front of the microphone, 2-12 inches (5-30 cm) away. Speaking
closer to the microphone results in more bass response, similar to voices on a radio broadcast. Make additional gain adjust
ments if necessary.
Music, Singing, and Acoustic Instruments
To capture acoustic sources, such as singing, acoustic guitar, soft percussion, or other musical instruments, use a close micro
phone placement. Start with Instrument mode for best results.
Aim the microphone directly at the sound source. For a single source, such as a string instrument or a vocalist, place the mi
crophone 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) away. For a small group or a performer who is singing and playing an instrument simul
taneously, use a distance of 2 to 10 feet (0.6m to 3 m). Placing the microphone farther away results in more ambient room
sound. Make additional gain adjustments if necessary.
Bands and Louder Sources
To record a band with drums, amplified instruments, or any other loud sources, start with Instrument mode for best results. Aim
the microphone towards the group at a distance of 6 to 15 feet (1.83 to 4.6 m). Placement of the microphone depends on the
size of the room, number of people, and instrument volume. If possible, walk around the room and listen to find where it sounds
best. Make additional gain adjustments if necessary.
