Glockenspiel

I wanted to try something a little different from what most people would record when choosing to record the glockenspiel. I decided to use the main room as I wanted to get a orchestral sound and felt that this room would most closely resemble a room in which a full ensemble would be playing in. I also wanted to find the mic that would give the brightest sound to this instrument and after trying all four different techniques i found that Paluso CEMC-6 matched pair of cardioid condenser microphones 6 inches away from instrument 18 inches apart gave the best representation.




Spaced pair of Km 100s + 40 capsul
2 Feet away from instrument and 6 Feet apart
serial #'s 2553 and 4037
