Double Bass, Cello

Figure 7: Double bass
Double bass:
Align the microphone with one of the f holes from a
distance of about 16 inches (40 cm). If you need to
record the double bass together with an ensemble,
place the microphone closer to the instrument and set
the polar pattern to hypercardioid to prevent leakage
from other instruments into the bass microphone.
Cello/technique 1:
Refer to "Double bass" above.
Cello/technique 2:
Use a close-in microphone as in technique 1 above
plus a distant microphone. Set the level of the close-in
microphone approx. 20 dB lower than the distant mic level.

We recommend using two microphones.
Aim one C314 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) at the
sound hole. Aim a small diaphragm microphone (e.g., a
C451B) at a point near the sound hole or bridge from a
distance of about 3 to 3 1/2 feet (50 cm up to 1 m).
