Positioning the microphone
Snare drums, drums and percussion instruments
| Position | Resulting sound | Commentary |
| more fundamental tone, little overtones | Position on the drum: 3 – 5 cm above the drumhead and directed towards the center of the drumhead, the fundamental tone to overtones ratio can be adjusted via the angle. | |
| less fundamental tone, many overtones |
Snare pick-up using two microphones
| Position | Commentary |
| Use of a second microphone for picking up the bottom of the drumhead. If necessary, activate phase reversing for one of the microphones. |
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. 135^ ).
