The actual miking distances which
correspond to these categories will
depend greatly on characteristics of the
recording environment, especially on its
size and reverberance. Each of these
microphones, when used at appropri-
ate distance, will have a well-balanced
overall response given the mixture of
direct and reflected sound energy
typical of that distance.
Note: Since the microphones have
some directionality at high frequencies,
it is still necessary to aim them at the
sound source.”
Uses:
CCM 2: relatively close miking of
instruments, vocalists, etc.
CCM 2H, 2S, XS: “spaced micro-
phone” stereo pickup and “Decca
Tree” arrangements
CCM 2XS: as CCM 2H; room microphone

(close to the sound source)
CCM 2H for use at moderate dis-
tance (at or near the
reverberation radius*)

for music and speech,
also for use at moderate
distance
