OVERHEADSUse condenser micsfor overheads.
They pick up a widerfrequency range.
Have them further awayfrom the kit as they can’ttake high SPLs.
Use a stereo mic configuration to pick upthe stereo image.
PHASE
Phase is to do with the timeaudio is recorded.
When multiple audio signalsadd up correctly (as in ex. 4)we call it in phase.
If audio signals are 180 degreesout of phase (as in ex. 3) then thesounds cancel each other out.

XY TECHNIQUE
This stereo mic technique is called the XY Technique.
It captures a stereo imagewhilst eliminating phase issues.
As both mics are close together, the sound from the instrument arrives at the same time.
TASKWork in a group,
Record a video to show how to mic up a drum set.
Use four dynamic drum mics
Use two overheads
Explain: What mic you are using and whyWhere you place the mic and why
