I don't do this kid of recording, but a great demonstration; easy to grasp...

[Zanacek]

Very interesting! :-)

Like the demo

[bond00777777]

fantastic demonstration !

[EagleMedieval]

Pretty good. I really didn't know it made that much difference. I'd always heard that it should be put in front of the cone (not at the center) of the speaker.

[mkauchi]

Very helpful! Thank you for sharing it!

This was a really good idea and a great demonstration of how drastically different it sounds.

Thanks for making this video.

You rock !

very nice!! I have found the same phenom when miking an acoustic guitar and of course it varies from guitar to guitar. So that often quoted idea of near the 12th fret is very suspect. Yes and of course it depends on the mic.. :)

Thanks for sharing. Back in the day when I did the first album of Southern Culture on the Skids we put the amp in the bathroom, closed the door with a Sm 57 and we were loving the nat reverb!!! LOL!!

Now this video makes more sense than a whole lot of others who try to explain this with thier words! This person didn't have to speak one word, but the video done more good than most of the so-called experts I have heard thus far!

Brilliant!

Interesting sound demo.

[brook61]

Nice, you need to do some voice recording next.

[naedsukram]

simple but very effective demonstration, so many variables by just moving the mic : )

[soundpurestudios]

Thanks for posting. We are actually working on some similar footage that really explores the different tonalities accross a speaker cone. There are some absolute consistencies that exist from cabinet-to-cabinet making it possible to tweak your sound, as you've demonstrated, but in a very predictable way to fit whatever mix you are working on. Enjoying your work...

sweet, It also helps to have some reference material as you are mic'ing up because it can be deceiving.

[Blixish]

Great illustration actually!

[keithappleton]

A fine example of how to do it - !
