Application Note:
Miking up kick drums and
amps
The kick drum sound will be the punchier
the closer the microphone sits to the
head. For a rounder sound, aim away from
the beater.
The engineers at the AKG acoustic
research laboratory tested the P 2 with
many different kick drums. To get the best
possible sound, they recommend a 3 dB
boost at 70 Hz and a 3 dB cut at 700 Hz
on the EQ (e.g., on the mixer).
To mic up an amp, place the microphone
as close as possible to the speaker. As you
move the microphone toward the center
of the diaphragm, the sound will become
brighter.
