VR88 Applications
Kick Drum
The VR88 is an excellent kick drum microphone, but due to the powerful wind blast
they produce you must be extremely careful on how you position the microphone.
For direct miking, position the mi-
crophone at least 18 inches from the
drum.
For closer miking, place the micro-
phone 10 to 18 inches, but be sure to
position the microphone at a 45 degree
angle to avoid excessive wear to the
ribbon. Figure 4.
The top view shows a horizontal posi-
tioning technique with the microphone
tilted 7 to 15 degrees off-axis. Figure 5.
