4 Using the Microphone

The steel strung guitar is bigger and sounds brighter, carrying a richer supply of Steel strung guitar: overtones, especially when used with a plectrum.

To get good results both in the studio and on stage, point the microphone at the soundhole from approx. 8 in./20 cm.

In a very quiet studio you may even try far miking.

When recording orchestral music, you may often have to mic up quiet and/or solo 4.6 Spot Miking instruments with extra near-field ("spot") microphones.

Being a relatively narrow hypercardioid, the C 747 V11 provides a high amount of separation. This feature in conjunction with its mild presence rise makes the C 747 V11 an excellent spot microphone.

• Place the C 747 V11 where you would place a conventional spot microphone.
