Positioning the microphone

Drums

In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between

adjacentsoundsources,trytopositionthemicrophoneso

that the interfering sound source is located in the angle

area of the highest cancellation of the microphone

(approx. 135°; see polar diagram).

Position Resulting sound Commentary

More fundamental,

little overtones Position on the drum: 

3–5 cm above the 

drumskin, the

fundamental to

overtones ratio can be

adjustedbychangingthe

angle of the microphone.

The most balanced

results are obtained at

an angle of 30–60°.

Less fundamental, 

many overtones

Use of a second 604 

for picking up the 

bottom of the drumskin

and the snares. NB: The

lower microphone must

be phase-reversed to

avoid phase-cancellation

effectsduetothe second

microphone being on the

other side of the

drumskin.
