Ribbon Mics on Cabs - SPLs and proximity.

Forums

Hi there

Just took receipt of a stereo pair of FatheadIIs (with Lundhals). Just tested them and they are fantastic.

Just wondering, given that ribbon mics can be damaged by gusts of air etc, how close to a cab can they be placed when recording bass? I know this is a difficult question given that I can't give a specific recording volume.

Mics: SM57 vs 8900

Forums

Hi all,

I just got the SM57 and after recording some samples I noticed I performs like the Shure 8900, so I got both next to each other a put a metronome like 10cms from them, and compared the Waveswhich look pretty much identical.

What type of sounds will help me see the difference ?, is it in front of a amp where I can see a difference ?, any other way to notice it ?
