Neumann Microphones for Acoustic Instruments

Neumann microphones for acoustic instruments provide professional solutions for capturing the natural detail, dynamics and tonal characteristics of musical instruments in recording and live applications.

Microphones for Acoustic Instrument Recording

Neumann microphones for acoustic instruments can be used with a wide variety of sound sources, from acoustic guitar and piano to strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion. Different microphone designs and polar patterns allow engineers to select an appropriate solution for each instrument and recording environment.

Microphone choice is only part of the process. Placement and distance also influence tonal balance, direct sound and the amount of room ambience captured.

Common Acoustic Instrument Applications

• Acoustic guitar: Capture string detail, body resonance and the overall tonal balance of the instrument.
• Piano: Support close, spaced and other microphone techniques depending on the desired sound.
• Strings: Record individual string instruments or ensembles in studio and performance environments.
• Brass and woodwinds: Capture dynamic performances with suitable directionality and placement.
• Percussion: Reproduce transient detail and the tonal character of acoustic percussion instruments.

Choosing a Neumann Microphone for Acoustic Instruments

Consider the instrument’s frequency range and sound pressure level, along with microphone polar pattern, sensitivity, frequency response and maximum SPL. The desired balance between direct sound and room ambience should also guide microphone placement.

Studio and Live Applications

Neumann offers microphone solutions suitable for studio recording as well as professional live instrument miking, including compact close-miking systems for compatible instruments.
