Positioning the microphone

Percussion

Position

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. 180°, see polar diagram).

Commentary

Positioning the microphone a few

centimetres above the outer edge of the

hi-hat aiming down gives a natural, clear

sound.

If necessary, remove unwanted low-

frequency signal portions by high pass

filtering.

Attention: When closing the hi-hat, a strong

air current is created on the edge. If the

microphone is positioned too close to the

edge, interfering noise due to the air current

can occur.

Good starting position for live miking

applications. If the overhead microphones

are only used for picking up the cymbals,

unwanted signal portions can be attenuated

by high pass filtering.
