about the angles of two individual microphones,

or testing to see if they are two of the same model

which sound a little different to each other.

• Choir/Vocal group: Placement can be in front of

the vocalists with the microphone pointing towards

the middle of the group. The distance between

the vocalists and the microphone depends on the

acoustics of the environment, level of the vocalists

and the sound that you are trying to achieve. More

bass frequencies are evident when the microphone

and vocalists are closer together.

• Piano: Placed strategically above a grand piano,

the NT4 easily and clearly produces the true, stereo

image of that instrument.

• Guitar: Acoustic guitar performances (duo or

ensembles) are captured in true spatial stereo

simply by positioning the NT4 centrally between or

among them, and ﬁ nely adjusting the position for

the ultimately desired responses. A solo acoustic

guitar will also beneﬁ t from the ambient sound

captured by the NT4. (The closer the microphone

is to the instrument, the less ambience and more

direct guitar sound. For more room ambience,

gradually move the microphone away from the

guitar).
