SoundAcoustics
When sound hits a• Hard surface (plastic, glass, tile, stone, metal)
more sound is REFLECTED – higher frequencies are reinforced – sound is brighter and sharper. LIVE
• Sounds bounce back. The larger the space, the greater the reverberation.
SoundAcoustics
When sound hits a• Soft surface (curtains, couches, rugs) more
sound is ABSORBED, in particular higher frequencies – sound is more mellow, even dull or muted. DEAD
SoundAcoustics
Surroundings are too “live”• Move mic closer to subject• Pull curtains or drape blankets• Add thick rugs or cushions• Use upholstered furniture• Add acoustic panels
SoundAcoustics
Surroundings are too “dead”•Move mic further from subject•Open curtains, increase hard surface space•Remove rugs or cushions•Remove upholstered furniture and use un-upholstered furniture•Add board, plastic, floor panels•Add artificial reverberation (reverb) in post

SoundMicrophones – Dynamic (Handheld)
• Rugged workhorses• Resist distortion from loud sounds• Decent sound quality• No electrical power required
SoundMicrophones – Condenser
• Produces very high audio quality• Can be small• Needs battery or phantom electrical power• Examples – shotgun, lavalier, miniature.
