Microphone Dos and Don’ts

A guide to microphone technique is beyond the scope of this User Guide (though many excellent

books on the subject are available), but if you are new to recording with a studio quality microphone,

you need to observe a few golden rules.

DO use a mic stand. The CM25B has an industry-standard 5/8” threaded insert which allows it to be

mounted on most mic stands. An 3/8” adaptor is included to allow it to be ﬁtted to mic stands that

have this thread size. Inexpensive short, long and boom stands are readily available from music

stores.

DO observe the microphone’s orientation. The

CM25B has a cardioid response pattern; this

basically means that it has a “front” and a “back”,

and if you point it the wrong way round, you will end

up with an inferior recording.

DON’T ignore the room acoustics. You probably won’t have the luxury of a recording studio’s carefully

tailored acoustics. Be aware of how reverberant the room is. Reverberation is neither good nor bad,

but frequently inappropriate! Some instruments will beneﬁt from being recorded in a reverberant

space, others won’t. A “dead” acoustic is generally better than a “live” one, because reverberation

can be added electronically in the recording process, but room reverberation on the recording can’t

be removed.

DON’T blow into a microphone to test it! Lightly rub or scratch the grille instead.

DO experiment with microphone placement. Remember you will not only be recording the vocal or

instrument, but the effect of the microphone position relative to the voice or instrument as well, and

this will be affected by the room acoustics. Moving the mic around, and trying recordings at different

distances and angles to the source will produce different sounding results, some of which will be

better than others.

DO use the CM25B to mic up a guitar ampliﬁer if you want to include the contribution to the sound

that the ampliﬁer makes. But be aware that very high sound levels can be produced very close to

the loudspeaker, and if you need high volume, you may get a better result by moving the mic away

from the ampliﬁer. Also, be aware that you will get a subtly different sound if you point the mic at the

centre of the loudspeaker cone compared to the edge.

DON’T forget that a microphone is utterly unforgiving – it will not only pick up what you are trying to

record, but any other sound source in the room, like a clock, the aircon, heating, or a chair creaking.

You know how you take those holiday photos of a great bit of scenery and it’s only when you look at

the pictures later that you see the power cables right across the view? It’s the same with recording.

You might not notice extraneous sounds at the time, but the mic will and you’ll hear them on the

recording. To remove any unwanted low frequency rumble, it is advisable that the High Pass Filter

(HPF) on your recording app is enabled.

Connecting headphones

The iTrack Dock Studio package includes a pair of high quality headphones, the iTrack Studio HP60Bs.

They are lightweight and durable, and should prove comfortable to wear for extended periods. The

headband is adjustable.

This mark (a cardioid response pattern)

identifies the front of the microphone.
