3.1 Stereo Mic-Placement Tutorial

The following are a few stereo mic applications to help you get started

with your ADL 600. These are by no means the only ways to record

these instruments; microphone selection and placement is an art. For

more information, visit your library or local bookstore, as there are many

books and magazines about recording techniques. The Internet is also a

great source of recording information, as are instructional videos.

Grand Piano

Place one microphone above the high

strings and one microphone above the

low strings. Experiment with distance

(the farther back the more room you

will capture). This technique can be

used for live and studio applications.

Electric Guitar

Place a dynamic microphone an inch

or two away from the speaker of the

guitar ampliﬁer. Experiment with exact

location. If you are recording an amp with

multiple speakers, experiment with each

one to see if one sounds better than the

others. Place a condenser microphone

approximately six feet away, pointed at

the amp. Experiment with distance. Also

experiment with inverting the phase

of the room microphone to check for

phase cancellation and reinforcement.

(Select the “fuller”-sounding position.)

In a live application, omit the condenser

microphone.
