Configuring a near-coincident stereo mic array
6) Use the guides along the side of the SMS to space and angle the microphones on the bar. Most of the time, this can be mounted to the stand
using the center hole. To do this, you will need to cut the vibration damping foam to accommodate the stand stud. The Posi-Lok swivel adaptor
also can be helpful in achieving proper orientation of the array.
The spacing and angle of the two microphones is highly subjective. Experiment with both to determine what sounds best for any given situation.
In general, however, to minimize possible phasing problems, the angle of the two microphones should not exceed ±45-degrees.
NUVO WINDSCREENS
The Windtech Nuvo windscreens in this kit are a real game changer and
can provide a significant reduction of breath noise with the N8 on close-
up vocals. For live performances on festival stages and other challeng-
ing situations combining them with the N22 near-field ribbons produce
astounding results. AEA's N22 Big Ribbons deliver our signature sub 20 Hz
Big Ribbon bass when used close-up. Even when "naked" the N22 has the
most wind protection we can design into a world class music microphone.
But with the Nuvo windscreens, their wind resistance goes far beyond
anything we imagined a big ribbon could do.
