Positioning the microphone: Drums / Percussions
Attention: When closing the hi-hat, a strong air current is created on the edge. If the microphone is positioned too close to the edge, interfering noise due to the air current can occur.
-
It is vital to observe the following notes:
-
Position the microphone a few centimetres above the outer edge of the hi-hat aiming down.
-
If necessary, remove unwanted low-frequency signal portions by high pass filtering.
- Position A: natural, clear sound
- Position B: more fundamental, little overtones
Positioning the monitor loudspeakers
-
To prevent feedback and crosstalk, postion your monitor loudspeakers in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 135°, see Polar pattern).
