The placement of the mics can make a huge difference on the character of the sound you create. What type of mounting / placement works best for your instrument?Ĭhoosing the right mic for your instrument is only the first step in ensuring a great sound. Distant miking is often more relevant in a controlled studio environment or where you want to add the ambience of a room, for example, a nice sounding concert hall. In very general terms, close miking is often advantageous on the live stage, where many instruments are placed close together in an uncontrolled, often rather large space.
Distant miking is often used in the pickup of a large instrumental ensemble (such as a symphony orchestra) and is most likely used for recording situations. The technique is used to ensure balance and add natural ambience to a sound. The purpose of close miking is many: to minimize bleed from other sound sources, to block out reflections from the room and to ensure flexibility for the performer.ĭistance miking is, as you would think, about placing mics farther away from the instrument(s).
Close miking is when you place the microphone close to or more likely on, the sound source. There are two primary ways of miking instruments. What type of miking (or sound) are you looking for?
