Ribbon microphones capture sound with very high fidelity especially higher frequencies However they often are very fragile many newer models are less so and typically cannot handle high sound pressure levels Most ribbon microphones do not require phantom power In fact unless a ribbon microphone specifically calls for phantom power sending phantom power to a ribbon microphone can severely damage it usually beyond repair 5 1 3 USB Microphones and Other Types Many microphone types are available and as technology evolves it is likely that more will be developed One type of microphone to emerge recently is the USB microphone These may be dynamic or condenser mics but because a USB microphone is in effect an audio interface we recommended that you not use them with the AudioBox iOne and iTwo as the likelihood of conflicting drivers is great If you are using a new or nonstandard type of microphone e g USB headset laser MEMS please consult your microphone s user s manual for power requirement and compatibility information Regardless of the microphone type you are using we recommend reading your microphone user s manual thoroughly before engaging phantom power and in case other usage questions arise 5 1 4 Stereo Microphone Placement The following are a few recording applications to help you get started with your AudioBox iOne and iTwo These are by no means the only ways to record these instruments Microphon

23. Tutorials 5 1 Microphone Types The AudioBox One and Two work with most types of microphones including dynamic ribbon and condenser microphones 5 1 1 Condenser Condenser microphones generally capture sound with excellent fidelity and are among the most popular microphone choices for studio recording and increasingly for live performance as well Condenser microphones require a power source which can be provided by a small battery an external power supply or phantom power which is usually provided by a mixer preamplifier or direct DI box Phantom power is sent over the same mic cable that carries the audio signal the term derives from the fact that there is no visible power cord and the voltage is not perceptible in the audio path The AudioBox One and Two sends 48 VDC phantom power from the XLR inputs only 5 1 2 Dynamic Dynamic microphones are possibly the most widely used microphone type especially in live shows They are relatively inexpensive resistant to physical damage and typically handle high sound pressure levels SPL very well Unlike condenser microphones most dynamic microphones do not require a power source Dynamic microphones especially ribbon microphones tend to generate low output voltages so they typically need more preamp gain than condenser microphones Ribbon Ribbon microphones are a special type of dynamic microphone and get their name from the thin metal ribbon used in their design

36. Types of Dynamic Processing Compression Limiting Punch apparent loudness presence these are just three of the many terms used to describe the effects of compression limiting Compression and limiting are forms of dynamic range gain control Audio signals have very wide peak to average signal level ratios sometimes referred to as dynamic range which is the difference between the loudest level and the softest level The peak signal can cause overload in the audio recording or sound reinforcement chain resulting in signal distortion A compressor limiter is a type of amplifier in which gain is dependent on the signal level passing through it You can set the maximum level a compressor limiter allows to pass through thereby causing automatic gain reduction above some predetermined signal level or threshold Compression refers basically to the ability to reduce by a fixed ratio the amount by which a signal s output level can increase relative to the input level It is useful for lowering the dynamic range of an instrument or vocal making it easier to record without distorting the recorder It also assists in the mixing process by reducing the amount of level changes needed for a particular instrument Take for example a vocalist who moves around in front of the microphone while performing making the output level vary up and down unnaturally A compressor can be applied to the signal to help correct this recording problem by red

54. el The answer is simply that most instruments need some form of compression often very subtle to be properly heard in a mix Why do we need noise gates Consider the compressed vocal example discussed earlier you now have a 20 dB dynamic range for the vocal channel Problems arise when noise or instruments air conditioner loud drummer etc in the background of the vocal mic become more audible after the lower end of the dynamic range is raised You might attempt to mute the vocal between phrases in an attempt to remove the unwanted sounds however this would probably end disastrously A better method is to use a noise gate The noise gate threshold could be set at the bottom of the dynamic range of the vocal say 10 dBu such that the gate would shut out the unwanted signals between the phrases If you have ever mixed live sound you know the problems cymbals can create by bleeding through the tom mics As soon as you add some highs to get some snap out of the tom the cymbals come crashing through placing the horn drivers into a small orbit Gating those tom mics so that the cymbals no longer ring through them will give you an enormous boost in cleaning up the overall mix Dynamics processing is the process of altering the dynamic range of a signal thereby enhancing the ability of a live sound system or recording device to handle the signal without distortion or noise and aiding in placing the signal in the overall mix 5 2 2
