Operation

Positioning the microphone on a kick drum
  1. It is vital to observe the following notes:
    • Position A: Position the microphone at a distance of a few centimeters from the batter head.
      • Resulting sound: much attack, little resonance, dry
    • Position B: Position the microphone at the level of the resonant head.
      • Resulting sound: less attack, much resonance, smooth and voluminous
    • Position C: Position the microphone in the middle between the batter head and the resonant head.
      • Resulting sound: less Attack
    For less attack in all three positions, turn the microphone away from where the beater strikes.


Positioning the monitor loudspeakers
  1. To prevent feedback and crosstalk, postion your monitor loudspeakers in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone (approx. 180°).
