Positioning the microphone
Snare drums, drums and percussion instruments
Snare pick-up using two microphones
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between
adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so
that the interfering sound source is located in the angle
area of the highest cancellation of the microphone
(approx. 180°).
Position Resulting sound Commentary
more fundamental,
little overtones
Position on the drum:
3 – 5 cm above the
drumskin and directed
towards the center of
the drumskin, the
fundamental tone to
overtones ratio can be
adjusted by changing the
angle of the microphone.
less fundamental,
many overtones
Position
Commentary
Use of a second microphone for picking up
the bottom of the drumskin. The lower
microphone must be phase-reversed to avoid
phase-cancellation effects due to the second
microphone being on the other side of the
drumskin.
