Read on to learn how to select and place a mic when recording.
Using a well-placed microphone will drastically improve your sound quality. You should experiment with
microphone placement to find the best location.

types of Microphones

There are two types of microphones: condenser and dynamic.
Condenser Microphones
Condenser (or "capacitor") microphones are usually used for live recordings. Unless they have their own
power supply, such as a battery, condenser mics use the phantom power from your TuneStudio to power their
amplifiers and impedance converters. There are many types of condenser mics, including headworn, lavalier,
probe, shotgun, and side-address.
Condenser mics are very sensitive, so they work well with distant or soft sources. They are often used to record
acoustic instruments and vocals.
dynamic Microphones
Dynamic (or "moving-coil") microphones are usually less expensive and less sensitive than condenser
microphones. Because they don't have amplifiers, dynamic mics don't need phantom power. Phantom power
should not harm a dynamic mic, but you should turn off phantom power before connecting a dynamic mic.
Older dynamic mics have low sensitivities and require a high gain setting. Ribbon mics (a type of dynamic
microphone) normally have very low sensitivity and usually require a very high gain setting. They are often
used to record guitars and drums.

Recording with Multiple Microphones

Your TuneStudio can record up to four sources at a time, and input channels 1 and 2 can provide phantom
power for two mics. If you are recording with multiple mics, you should follow the 3:1 rule.
3:1 Microphone Placement Rule
When you record with multiple mics, sounds arrive at each mic at different times. Sounds farther from the mic
will have a slight delay. When you combine the close and distant sounds, some frequencies will cancel each
other out. The result is a "hollow" or filtered sound.
To avoid this problem, the distance between your mics should be three times the distance between the mics and
their source. For example, if your mics are one foot from the source, they should be placed at least three feet apart.
