Visiting Vivaldi in Venice



And now to the actual recording technique. There are many. You can use a Decca Tree, Blumlein, AB, XY, NOS, ORTF, Jecklin OSS, Sound Field and even a Dummy Head , all with their pros and cons. Let’s go over some of them.

Using two mics as a crossed pair or XY is a common technique. The mics are placed so that the capsules are above each other at an angle of between 90° to 120°. Their response pattern is cardioid (heart-shaped). The problem with this technique is that the stereo image can be a little narrow and you do not pick up a lot of ambience. Also center images appear a little louder than they are in real life.



AB can use two omni-directional mics spaced at up to several meters apart. This system is outstanding for recording the ambience of a venue but does not reproduce a precise stereo image. This is what Decca originally used but they added a third mic in the center to improve stereo localization.



ORTF was invented by French radio many years ago. Here two cardioid mics are placed at 110° and 17 centimeters apart, more or less the distance between a pair of human ears. This system usually guarantees very good results and many people use this especially where there is very little time to experiment with microphone positions.
