Microphone Placement and Tone Quality
Listed are some common microphone placement techniques. Use these sugges- tions as a guide and let your ears determine what works best in your situation.
•Sound source less than 6 inches away from
•Sound source 6 inches to 2 feet away from
•Sound source 3 to 6 feet away. from
Guidelines for Microphone Use
•Aim the microphone at the desired source. Keep unwanted sound sources at a 135° angle from the front of the microphone (see polar pattern).
•Place the microphone as close to the sound source as possible.
•Use the proximity effect to your advantage: The closer the mic is to the sound source, the more emphasized the bass response will be.
•Use a windscreen to suppress unwanted wind noise.
•Never cup your hand over the microphone grill.
Operating Notes
•The R21 will boost bass frequencies when the microphone is between
•The R21 has a
•For maximum signal handling capability and minimal distortion, a minimum load impedance of 800 ohms should be used. A reduction in output signal strength and output clipping level will result with the load at 150 ohms.
