Professional Sound Expo Session
Monday, June 6, 15:00 — 15:45 (PSE Stage)
Microphone Basics
Presenter:John Willett, Sound-Link ProAudio - Bicester, Oxfordshire, UK; Circle Sound Services - Bicester, Oxfordshire, UK
Abstract:
Microphones are the very first link in the recording chain, so it’s important to understand them to use them effectively. This presentation will explain the differences between different types of microphones; explain polar-patterns and directivity, proximity effect relative recording distances and a little about room acoustics. The author found that many of these “golden nuggets” helped him greatly when he first understood them and hopes they will help you too.
