3) Coupling

- The distance between the mics determines the amount of coupling (summation)

- The angle determines the quality of the coupling

- Too far apart ==> loss of center

- Too close ==> too strong accent

 

 

 

4) Madsen

- Forward facing bi-directional Mics, 7~8” apart, uses an absorbent baffle between the Mics

Drums

 

1) Overheads: complete “stereo” image

 

2) Two ways to consider drums:

a) A bunch of different instruments in close proximity

b) A single multi-element instrument

 

 

Overheads:

- Pick “a center image” by reference with ‘kick drum’

- The overheads must be set equidistance from the center reference (kick drum)

Front, rear placement:

- Both equidistance from the center reference

 

 

All instruments have a radiating pattern (dispersion properties): 

Low freq. instrument (such as kick drum, low tom, etc) = tend to be omni deirection

High freq. instrument (such as overhead, symbols, etc) = tend to be beam (single direction)

 

 

 

Setting levels (open Hihats):

- For correct imaging, set a basic level of both mics using the kick drum only

- Set "low" adjust both equally on the faders when the drummer is playing the kit

 

 

 

Kick drum miking:

Mic inside kick drum

a) Closes to back head ==> more 'pop'

b) Offset from center for less "boom": a more solid sound with HF

c) No front head ==> more power

d) Dual Mics: Outside Mic ==> Phase(⌀) relationship with inside Mic (fundamental freq.)

e) Kick drum Tunnel = more separation of sound

f) Kick drum Beater type ==> determines tonality

g) Smaller kick drum ==> bigger sound
