Grands ensembles à cordes :

Utilisez un couple stéréo en configuration XY, MS, ORTF ou autre, combiné à des micro- phones d’appoint à proximité des instruments.

Contrebasse :

Placez le microphone à environ 40 cm de l’une des ouïes f.

Si la contrebasse doit être en- registrée au sein d’un ensem- ble instrumental, rapprochez le microphone de l’instrument et sélectionnez la directivité hy- percardioïde (en tournant le sé- lecteur de directivité d’un cran dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre à partir de la position cardioïde ( ), pour éviter que d’autres instruments n’interfè- rent sur le microphone de la contrebasse.
