Mikrofonplassering ved innspilling av flygel

[Edmund Blackadder]

Har et flygel og en grei mikrofon til å ta opp ting med, men jeg lurte veldig på hvor jeg skulle plassere mikrofonen for å få best mulig lyd. Noen tips til dette?

 

Takk

I have a favourite method that I've used on many records. Put a mic about 9 inches from the strings, lid-up, inside the piano looking at the strings positioned about one third from the back of the instrument looking down at about one octave above middle C. Use a condenser with some EQ (mine of course!) of about +4 dB at 4 kHz. Place a second mic UNDER the piano in a similar position looking up to the soundboard. EQ this to taste, (warm up the lows is nice, with a little HF for attack) but concentrate on getting just enough mechanical wood sound to add percussion and "real-piano" feel. Set this mic panned half left with the one above panned half right. "Sounds Jolly Dee to me!

I've had great success miking a Yamaha C7 Grand Piano using two Beyerdynamic MC834 microphones in a fairly large room with hardwood floors. I take one MC834 and place it about 2-4 inches behind the hammers (from the player's perspective) at about a 15 degree angle up towards the player and about 18 inches above the strings. This microphone is placed about 2/3 of the way up the keyboard (upper midrange). I will move this microphone up or down the keyboard slightly to balance the sound and change the tilt or angle slightly to get a brighter or duller sound. I take the second MC834 and place it under the piano, in the center of the body (front to back), about 8 inches from the bass side, and aimed towards the floor with about a 30 degree angle up towards the player with the diaphragm about 8 inches off of the floor. The key to this is the big room and hardwood floating floors, but you get a very tight, robust low end that isn't tubby and it blends extremely well with the top end. I love the Beyer MC834 for miking pianos because of its clarity and presence without sacrificing low end and especially for its ability to handle high SPL without getting edgy sounding. I know this is a slightly esoteric miking technique but it works well for me in some rooms. I also have used two MC834's miked from the top with the high freq. mic the same as the earlier technique and putting the low freq. mic about halfway down (front to back) near where the low strings cross one another and nearly parallel with the sound board.

 

In college we actually had to do a lab where we were supposed to setup different mics in different positions around a piano. We tried all kinds of different setups. We tried close mics, distant mics, mics in-between, mics under the piano, mics over the keys, mic arrays in different combinations.

 

To my ears, the best sounding setup was to use a simple M-S array using AKG C414s at about 3 feet from the piano sounding board.

Vi pleier å prøve oss litt fram avhengig av hvilke mikrofoner vi bruker. Hva slags mikrofon bruker du? Dynamisk eller kondensator?

 

Vi pleier ihvertfall å bruke to micer, under lokket på flygelet. En over de lyse strengene og en over de mørke. Med èn mic er det vel best å plassere rundt midten, men er viktig å høre seg fram til hva man liker best.
