Hi, my left stereo channel of the zoom h6 capsule started with buzz sounds than it got worse with a hiss sound, then I opened it and realized that the cables was detached like in this picture I took today when I disassembled it. can you tell me how to solder it please? If you can draw on the...

There are tons of discussions about these stereo techniques (RTF, NOS, XY, Decca tree, Blumlein, AB) but I did not see much with regard to the mix once used them after recording. After one has recorded using one of these stereo techniques, what procedure to follow in the mixing process...

RODE Mic: Anounces the release of the RØDE iXY stereo microphone for the Apple iPhone and iPad, as well as the RØDE Rec audio recording app for iOS devices. RØDE launched both today at the CES exhibition in Las Vegas. When used together they are capable of recording at up to 24-bit/96kHz – the...

Example in XY, How are you securing microphones in a shock mounts from moving out of from position?

What are the pros con between ORTF and XY? How do you know which config to use? Is one better for solo, quartet, choirs, orchestra? How does crossing XY change the imaging vs the opposite in ORTF? Does X have to be above Y (or vise versa) and why? Do you use the same Cardioids for XY or ORTF or...

Hi there, I have got a doubt about phase in a XY stereo configuration. I've always heard that it's a very mono compatible configuration. But a technician here in my city always says that we should avoid this configuration, because if the two micros are not exactly matched (And by that he...

XY creates a stereo image by using two cardioid or hyper cardioid microphones placed as near as possible to each other (and up to 12 inches apart) at 90-135 degrees spread and with the center of the spread pointed at the sound source.

XY stereo set-up is a coincidence stereo technique using two cardioid microphones in the same point and angled at 90° to produce a stereo image. Theoretically, the two microphone capsules need to be at exactly the same point in space to avoid any phase problems due to the distance between the...

Just about how much distance are you supposed to put between the mics and the source using this technique? How about for a drum set and a guitar amp.

XY mics on a drum kit - roughly above the toms pointing at cymbals. Placement give or take. The kit and in fact, the band, isn't very loud and this is while the band is singing at a rehearsal. Good thing? Not the best thing? Terrible idea? I've tried something vaguely in an XY pattern...

XY pattern mics are usually shown at 90 degrees. Is there something inherently good or necessary about the precise value of 90 degrees?

what would happen in this case, if I where to mike a drum set and set the overheads up as 2 omnidirectional mics in an XY coincident position?

Hi, I am trying to figure out the right way to use my AT2020 side address microphones in an XY technique for drum overheads. I just can't seem to understand it by reading articles about it because none of the microphones in the diagrams are side-address. Also, is XY the best technique the...

Does either option offer a better sound for a poor acoustic room? What does each one do different from the other? Is one better than the other?

Hi folks, sorry for the long post - I'm seeking some specific advice from more experienced engineers which I haven't been able to find so far in these forums. I am a musician who currently does a lot of home recording and mixing but am looking to get into location recording of small group...

The XY position is often referred to by engineers when recording violin for classical music. Can anyone elaborate? Also MS? Thanks Ted

Hey there-here is a quickie- There is an add and a review in the new Mix magazene (Page 142)for a Gefell M930 mic and a fancy X-Y bar for accurate stereo mic'ing.Do you put the mics in omni,figure 8,cardioid? Thanks,you guys always nknow all the answers-Barefoot
