How to use microphones Glyn Chapman Acoustic Arrangements

Microphone Types Dynamic Moving Coil Robust Vocals/Instruments Condenser Require power Delicate Speech/Flute/Strings/ Hi-Hat/Overheads

Microphone Patterns Cardioid - unidirectional Solo miking Cardioid 130° Supercardioid 115° Hypercardioid 105° Omni – omnidirectional Group miking Recording

Frequency Response & Proximity Effect Example: Shure Beta58

Microphone Types VocalInstrument Gooseneck DrumBoundary Clip-On Speech

Microphone Placement Inverse Square Law: Double the distance it receives one fourth of the energy (-6dB). 3 To 1 Rule: The distance to an adjacent mic should be three times that of the distance from the source.

Microphone Placement Leader/Preacher: Lapel Mic – high & central Speech: 30cm on stand or gooseneck Vocals: cm held or stand (not 7-8cm) Guitar Cabs: 2-5cm from cone half way from centre Flute: 3-10cm from mouthpiece Clarinet/Oboe: 10-15cm from middle Trumpet: 10-15cm from bell

Using Pairs

Handling Tips DO Hold the microphone steady. Mount on a stand to reduce handling noise Hold it short distance (0.5-10cm but not 7-8cm) away and point it somewhere between the nose and mouth. DON'T Wave the microphone around. Press it to your chin. Cover the microphone by holding it at the ball grille.
