ORTF setup. The ORTF stereo technique, also known as side-other-side, is a microphone technique used to record stereo sound.It was devised around 1960 at the now-defunct Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française (ORTF).
For example, if a solo instrument within an orchestra needs an extra mic for added volume and presence, placing the mic too close would result in a pickup that sounds overly present, unnatural and out of context with the distant, overall orchestral pickup. To avoid this pitfall, a compromise in distance should be struck.
Parabolic microphone used at an American college football game. A parabolic microphone is a microphone that uses a parabolic reflector to collect and focus sound waves onto a transducer, in much the same way that a parabolic antenna (e.g. satellite dish) does with radio waves. Though they lack high fidelity, parabolic microphones have great ...
Two examples of different boundary mics (top) and a diagram of the elements of a boundary microphone. The diagram shows the location of the mic capsule, the plate, the aperture, and the pressure zone. In 1978, audio engineers Ed Long and Ron Wickersham studied the effects of the boundary layer in sound recording.
The condenser microphone, invented at Western Electric in 1916 by E. C. Wente, [22] is also called a capacitor microphone or electrostatic microphone—capacitors were historically called condensers. The diaphragm acts as one plate of a capacitor, and audio vibrations produce changes in the distance between the plates.
Preventing Cardiovascular Disease. The development of cardiovascular disease is strongly associated with your lifestyle habits. You can minimize your chances of developing cardiovascular disease by:
5. Take your health seriously — it’s expensive. Health care costs have hit many baby boomers hard, especially as they’ve gotten older. Many learned (sometimes too late) that skipping routine ...
Example of microphone positioning in a Decca Tree setup. A Decca Tree setup uses three omnidirectional microphones arranged in a "T" pattern outlining a triangle, often equilateral; the center microphone is mixed with the two spaced microphones to fill the "hole in the middle" in their imaging; it points the sound source.
