XY Micing

[matthew13l]

I've seen you guys referring to "XY" micing... can someone explain this technique for me?

Thanks:cool:

Here's a great site explaining many of the commonly used stereo miking techniques.

That is a good site... :cool:

But I wish it had pictures / diagrams of Blumlein and MS stereo up there... I see a lot of questions about those from people too, and it would be nice to have a one stop link that covered everything.

Schoeps microphones has a great stereo micing reference guide on their site:

Hope this helps!

Thanks Blue... that's another good site... but not the one I was thinking of either. A month or two back, I found a really good one where the geometry (relative mic positions) were really well pictured... I'm still looking, and will post a link... when I find it again. :(

This is a good one that I came across some time ago:

Good link with lots of suggestions / tips. Thanks Jan. BTW, it's good to have you with us. :cool:

For those who don't know Jan, he's a very talented cat and really knows his stuff... you can check out his website at http://www.janfolkson.com/
