Microphones
Cabinet simulation offers two separate microphones for the recording of the virtual speaker
in a modeled recording space (MIC 1 & MIC 2). Similar to a real-life situation, you may
position a virtual microphone stand in a space to achieve interesting mixing ratios and
stereo effects.
For each of the two available microphones, you may select from a list which includes
several popular studio types featuring characteristic sound models:
Condenser, Dynamic 1, Dynamic 2
For each selected microphone, a range of sound design parameters is available:
Axis: The "on axis" (controller to the left) setting corresponds
positioning of the microphone directly in the middle of the speaker
cone. In this position, the sound will have many highs, but may
sound piercing. For this reason, the microphone will often be
positioned a bit "off axis" in order to achieve a softer sound.
Distance: This control allows you to remove the microphone from
the speaker and position it further away in the recording studio.
This way you can make the sound more alive and loosen it up
acoustically. Using two microphones with different panoramas (see
below) enables you to create extremely realistic stereo images
(note that the axis parameter has a decreasing effect in relation to
the increasing distance).
Pan: This parameter distributes the microphone signal in the
stereo sum at the output of the cabinet simulation.
Level: This adjusts the microphone volume.

parameters:
Speaker Distortion: As discussed at the start of this manual, we
have also modeled the non-linear aspects of a speaker. These
dramatically change the sound, depending on how hard it is
working. Under heavy loads, not only more distortion is created,
but the dynamics and the frequency spectrum also change. This
control allows you to set the effect of the non-linear behavior within
certain limits. Please note that the acoustic effect of this parameter
also depends on the amp's end stage.
