Aufnahmetipps

  • Platzierung des Mikrofons: Position the microphone directly in front of the sound source. For vocals, speak into the front grille (where the beyerdynamic logo is visible).
  • Distanz: Maintain an appropriate distance from the microphone. Too close can cause proximity effect (increased bass), too far can result in a thin sound and capture more room noise.
  • Monitorpegel: Always monitor your recording levels in your software to ensure they are not clipping (too loud) or too low.
