  • MIR PRO Main- and Secondary-Microphone-Questions

    Hey,

    I have some questions on how the micropones in MIR work.

    1) As far as I read it, the Sec-Mic does not contain any spatial information. But what does it contain? does it have a distant depending delay?

    2) Can there be phasing issues, when the signals from the Main-Mic and Sec-Mic are merged in MIR?

    3) At which virtual hights are the main and sec mics situated (e.g. in Grosser Saal).

    4) Does it make sense, to put the Sec-Mic ABOVE an Orchestra and the Main-Mic infront of it? I tried that and I found, that it had a full, dense sound, but at the same time, it sounded a bit strange (I cannot clearly say, what it is; maybe a time-synchronisation problem, when putting the Sec-Mic before the other?)

    Thanks, Jan

    Hi Jan,

    interesting questions which aren't covered by the manual in its entirety.

    I'm not sure that I understand the term "above" in your question. You mean closer to the stage? This is something that will most likely sound - uhm - "interesting", because the reflection patterns of the room will indicate a closer position than the actual instrument positions determined by the Main Mic. - But you know: If it sounds right, it _is_ right! 😉
