USER TIPS
- D6 - Kick Drum: To position the D6, a good starting point is a few inches inside the port of the front head with the mic pointing off-center and not directly at the beater. For more attack, move the mic closer towards the beater. For more bass, pull the mic farther away from the beater.
- D6 - Bass Cabs: For bass cabinets, position the mic 90 degrees to the grill cloth and 1-2 inches inside the edge of the speaker.
- i5 - Snare and Toms: A good starting point is 2 inches above the rim with the mic pointing towards the center of the head. For more “rim” sound, pull the mic back closer to the rim. For more resonance and depth of field, pull the mic farther away from the head. The trick is to find the right balance between resonance and attack while still controlling bleed from the other drums.
- i5 - Guitar Cabs: The i5 can be placed within 1-2 inches of the grill cover at a 90 degree angle pointing directly towards the speaker. As the mic is placed closer to the edge of the speaker, you will minimize the higher frequencies and get a warmer, fatter tone. To capture more highs, move the mic closer towards the center of the speaker.
