Owner’s Manual
Acoustic Guitar
Point a small-diaphragm condenser microphone at the 12th
fret, approximately 8 inches away. Point a large-diaphragm
condenser microphone at the bridge of the guitar,
approximately 12 inches from the guitar. Experiment with
distances and microphone placement. Another popular
method is using an XY microphone placement with two
small-diaphragm condenser microphones. (See drum-
overheads picture on the next page.)
Bass Guitar (Direct and Speaker)
Plug the electric bass guitar into a passive direct box. Connect the
instrument output from the passive direct box to a bass amplifier. Place a
dynamic microphone an inch or two away from the speaker and connect
it to a StudioLive microphone input. Connect the line output from the
passive direct box to a line input on a different channel of the StudioLive.
For recording, place these signals on separate tracks. During mixing, you
can blend the direct and amplifier signal to taste. This technique can also
be used in live applications.
