Microphone Placement
Choral Ensembles
Point the microphones at the center row of the ensemble.
Unlike instrument ensembles, where some instruments are
naturally louder than others, vocal ensembles generally
practice to create the best blend between all voices. Aiming
your stereo microphone field toward the center of the
ensemble will allow you to capture all sections and any soloists.
Power User Tip: Use your ears; they are your best “stereo pair”!
Every room and ensemble is different, so listen at various
distances to get an idea of how the sound is reflecting in the room.
You can even record in a few different positions and compare
the quality to help select the best position for your space.
