A microphone's job is generally to try to capture, as closely as possible, the sound of an instrument. But you can also use a microphone to infuse specific sound characteristic into a performance. Likewise, a preamp, which boosts the signal of a microphone as the signal travels to the recorder, can be used to accurately represent a sound or to add texture and dimension to it. Microphones and preamps are the center of the sound engineer's palette. Just as a painter has his paints and brushes, you have microphones and preamps. And just as a painter can create a stunning variety of visual textures with his tools, you too can make your creative statement with the judicious use of these two pieces of equipment.
I explore the two most versatile tools of your auditory craft. You look at the various types of microphones and preamps, and you gain an understanding of each one's role in capturing a performance. You also discover what types of mics and preamps work for particular situations. To top if off, through purchasing and caring for your precious new friends (the mics and preamps, that is). You can find out how to use your mics.
When you start looking at microphones, you basically find three different types of construction methods (condenser, dynamic, and ribbon) and three basic polarity patterns (omnidirectional, cardioid.) The following section explore these various constructions and patterns and help you make sense out of them.
Whether a microphone is a $10 cheapie that has a cord permanently attached to it or a $15,000 pro model with gold-plated fittings, all microphones convert sound waves to electrical impulses that the preamp or mixer can read and the recorder can store. Each of the three construction types captures this auditory signal in different way, and as such, each adds certain characteristics to the sound. Here's how the different mics affect sound:
*Condenser
This type tends to have a well-rounded shape to its frequency response and a fast response, allowing it to often pick up high transient material, such as the initial attack of drum, very well. These mics can sound more natural, but they can also be somewhat harsh if placed too close to a high transient source.
*Dynamic
Dynamic mics tend to a accentuate the middle of the frequency spectrum because the thick diaphragms (relatively speaking when compared to a condenser mic) take longer to respond.
*Ribbon
Because the ribbon mic is relatively slow to respond to an auditory signal, it tends to soften the transients (the initial attack of an instrument) on instruments such as percussion and piano. The high end isn't as pronounced as with other construction types, so these mics tend to have a rounder, richer tone.
I detail these aspects in the following sections. In most cases, the type of construction dictates the general cost category in which the mics fit.
