Positioning the microphone
Loudspeaker of a guitar amplifier
Position Resulting sound Many trebles, aggressive sound Commentary Microphone directed towards the dome of the loudspeaker.
Less trebles, more lower mids, smoother sound Balanced, natural sound
Good starting position: Microphone directed towards the middle between dome and edge of the loudspeaker. If necessary, turn the microphone by approx. 30° towards the edge. Microphone directed towards the edge of the loudspeaker.
Less trebles, more lower mids, smoother sound
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. 135°; see polar diagram)
