Please note that miking techniques are a matter of personal

preference.These are merely guidelines to assist in the

placement of the microphone to gain optimal performance.

Usage Optimal Placement

Electric Guitar Place microphone approximately 1-2" from and at

and Bass a 90°degree angle to the speaker cone.

Guitar Amplifier To reduce boominess, move the microphone off

axis to the cone from 90°to 45°, or move mic

from center of cone to either edge.

drum 1-3" and at a 45°angle to the drum surface

and 1-2" in from the drum edge. On single headed

Toms use above method or place mic inside Tom

from underneath at a 90°angle from the center of

head, 3-5", away.

rim.Aim each mic at the top heads angled down

about 45°. If the drum rings, tape deadening

material to the head or use damping rings.

underneath aimed up at the bottom of head.

Instrument Microphone Standard Placement & Use Guidelines

1. Always point the microphone at the desired source of

sound, and away from any unwanted sources.

2.The microphone should be located close to the sound

source to minimize interference from other potential

sound sources.

3. Use the 3-to-1 rule when using multiple microphones.

Place each microphone three times farther from other

microphones as from the desired sound source.

4. Minimize over-handling of the microphone to reduce

unwanted mechanical noise.

5.Working close to the microphone will increase the bass

tone and also provide increased gain-before-feedback.
