Title: Mic set up.....
Post by: thomasdrv on August 01, 2012, 04:16:00 AM

How do you guys set up your mics ?
ORTF, DIN, RAI, NOS AB.
I got a pair of Bruel & Kjær 4035 and I wonder what's the best way to put them up ?
Rock or jazz are mostly what I record..

Geez.  That's a question with a million answers...Lots of posts here on that topic.  Also, read William's Stereophonic Zoom paper (http://www.reddingaudio.com/downloads/Rycote%20Technical/The%20Stereophonic%20Zoom.pdf (http://www.reddingaudio.com/downloads/Rycote%20Technical/The%20Stereophonic%20Zoom.pdf)).

After reading the paper, play with this web application.

Change the capsule type, distance and angle between the mics, and see how the apparent angle changes.
Dropdown on the left lets you pick the standard combinations.
