Drums / Percussions ( 908 D)
Position
Resulting sound
Commentary
More fundamental,
little overtones
Position on the
drum:
3–5 cm above the
drumskin, directed
towards the center
of the drumskin, the
fundamental to
overtones ratio can
be adjusted by
Less fundamental,
many overtones
changing the angle
of the microphone.
The most balanced
results are obtained
at an angle of
30–60°.
Pronounced
Optional:
proximity effect
tangential position
of the gooseneck in
order to reduce the
distance to the
drumskin.
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 180°; see polar diagram).
