Microphone Placement
Kick Drum
The Q71 can be positioned outside the bass drum for more of an ambient sound, which is
sometimes desired for recording, or inside the drum for a tighter sound like in live sound
applications. When positioning the Q71 you will notice that changing the distance the mic
is placed from the head will have an effect on the low frequency response. You can use the
proximity effect to your advantage by moving the mic closer to the head if the sound is too
boomy, or try moving the Q71 back a bit to add more low end. If you want more of the click
attack sound from your bass drum, try aiming the Q71 directly at the beater. Positioning the
mic in between the beater and the edge of the drum will provide a more balanced sound than
pointing the mic directly at the center of the drum head.
Snare Drum
When you mount the Q72 on your snare drum rim you'll be well on your way to getting a great
sound due to the close placement of the mic. You can experiment by changing the angle of the
mic to change sound. If you want to get more stick attack try lifting the mic slightly so that it is
pointing bit way from the rim and aim it more in the direction towards the center of the drum
head. Directing the mic towards the rim captures more overtones. You can use the proximity
effect to your advantage to increase the low-end response by pointing the mic further downward.
For recording and advanced live sound applications try a second Q72 under the snare drum to
pick up more of the sound from the snares. When using the second Q72 under the drum, be
sure to reverse the phase polarity on the mic input, otherwise some of the sound will actually
cancel.
Tom-toms
When you mount the Q72 on your tom-tom rim you'll be well on your way to getting a great
sound thanks to the close placement of the mic. You can experiment by changing the angle of
the mic to change sound. If you want to get more stick attack try lifting the mic slightly so that
it is pointing bit way from the rim and aim it more in the direction towards the center of the
drum head You can use the proximity effect to your advantage to increase the low-end response
by pointing the mic further downward.
