Recording electric guitar/bass

• To mic up a guitar or bass ampliﬁ er (as opposed to

direct input of that instrument) a microphone may

be placed close to the loudspeaker of the ampliﬁ er,

directed slightly to the side (off-axis) of the speaker.

• In the absence of a PAD it may be necessary to

move the microphone further from the speaker to

avoid distortion when loud volume is used.

Recording piano

• To record a piano using a single microphone

you should place the mic approximately 60cm

(2’) above the centre of the sound board, aimed

slightly towards the front of the piano.

• To record a piano using a matched pair of

NT1-As using X/Y stereo technique, the matched

microphone should be angled 90 - 110 degrees

to each other, over the hammers with one mic

aimed towards the lower strings and the other to

the higher strings. The gold dots should face the

piano.

An effective stereo image can be achieved, with

lower frequencies being recorded on the left, and

higher frequencies on the right.
