about the angles of two individual microphones,
or testing to see if they are two of the same model
which sound a little different to each other.
• Choir/Vocal group: Placement can be in front of
the vocalists with the microphone pointing towards
the middle of the group. The distance between
the vocalists and the microphone depends on the
acoustics of the environment, level of the vocalists
and the sound that you are trying to achieve. More
bass frequencies are evident when the microphone
and vocalists are closer together.
• Piano: Placed strategically above a grand piano,
the NT4 easily and clearly produces the true, stereo
image of that instrument.
• Guitar: Acoustic guitar performances (duo or
ensembles) are captured in true spatial stereo
simply by positioning the NT4 centrally between or
among them, and fi nely adjusting the position for
the ultimately desired responses. A solo acoustic
guitar will also benefi t from the ambient sound
captured by the NT4. (The closer the microphone
is to the instrument, the less ambience and more
direct guitar sound. For more room ambience,
gradually move the microphone away from the
guitar).
