8 MIKING

8.1 Distance

When you move the microphone away from the cabinet, you increase the part of the studio's
acoustic (early reflections) in the sound.
Furthermore, depending on the cabinet model you use and especially with the ones including
multiple speakers, moving the microphone away can bring some higher frequencies back. This is
simply due to the directivity of the loudspeakers. At maximum positioning (100%), the microphone is
placed 3 meters (10 feet) away from the cabinet.

8.2 Center

Determine the distance between the axis of the loudspeaker and the microphone (placed at
a right angle). The in-axis position (0%) allows for a maximum amount of trebles, which are highly
directives.
Moving the microphone away from the axis decreases the trebles to the benefit of the basses. At
maximum position (100%), the microphone is placed at the edge of the speaker when Distance is
0%, and 1 meter (3 feet) away from the axis when Distance is 100%.

8.3 Position

In standard sound pick-up, the microphone is usually placed in front of the cabinet. However,
placing the microphone behind the cabinet can be quite interesting. The tone you get then will
usually be softer and darker. This is particularly noticeable with closed cabinet, less with open ones.

"sweet spot", the perfect microphone position. You
will also be able to control speaker saturation and
balance between simulated and non-simulated
tones. The first two parameters determine the mi-
crophone's position. You can move the micro-
phone around inside a trapezoidal plane that the
Torpedo Remote software lets you visualize.
• Determine the distance between the simulated cabinet and
microphone. Placing a microphone close to the cabinet will
result in a precise sound with a large amount of proximity
effect (dependent on the chosen model of microphone).
