Applications
This microphone is a great choice for a wide range of applications. Some typical uses include:
- Voice - solo, background, voice-over, broadcasting
• Acoustic instruments - piano, guitar, drums, percussion, strings
• Wind instruments - brass and woodwind
• Low frequency instruments - double bass, electric bass, kick drum
• Overhead miking - drums or percussion
• Ensembles - choral or orchestral
• Room ambiance pick-up - guitar amplifier or drums
Both the acoustic environment and microphone placement have significant effects on the sound obtained when miking a source. You may need to experiment with these variables to achieve the best overall sound for each application.
