ABSTRACT

To gain experience, and harking back to Section 13, Mics: practical listening exercise (b) – mic placement and sound discrimination, move the loudspeakers as far apart as possible, and feed the same sound to each. If you can select speech on your radio as the loudspeaker feed, that is the ideal for this exercise. Place a mic in front of each loudspeaker and plug them to convenient channels on your mixer. (If you're unable to select the same source to each loudspeaker, use a single loudspeaker with both mics pointing at it – and unplug the other. Although this should provide the same result, experience shows that the two loudspeaker system works better, always providing they both match, that is.)
