Mic'ing on Stage




You finally hit the big time and the band has to play your amps through a PA. The best solution is to put your rotary cabinet (mechanical or electronic) in an isolation room and mic the room.

If you are stuck with mic'ing on an open stage, the best way to capture the effect is to:

MIC TWO DIAGONALLY OPPOSITE CORNERS
Microphone Placement on Stage

Use TWO directional microphones to avoid picking up other sounds from the stage.

Place the mics on diagonally opposite corners, slightly above the cabinet and pointing slightly down. About a foot away is a good compromise between capturing the ORBITED or rotating sound effect and rejecting bleed-through from other sources.

Think of each face of the cabinet as a separate sound source. By micing this way, you get the DIFFERENTIAL as the sound swings around the sides. Use this style of micing for both the ORBITED and Leslie cabinets.

Rotary Speakers also ORBIT

It's the Doppler Effect... Hmmmm, not so fast.

It's all about the resonances bouncing inside the box... or is it?

One More Note

If your gear says skamp®, Super skampTM or Provado®, then it's a product of AmplificationTM.
