Stop! Don't read any further until you have read my two previous articles. One article talks about the mic test and what it is about. The next article is a list of microphones to be tested. This will save me from having to re-post monotonous information. Once you have read the other two, please continue.
Please refer to the aricles below before you proceed with this one.
Nearly all of the manufacturers made recommendations for getting the most out of their mics, in specific applications. Only one of them made suggestions for microphone placement technique for the recording process. (For more information on microphone techniques, please read the previous articles, or visit www.dpamicrophones.com.)
The "fair comparison" test consisted of comparable mics in the same position, in the same configuration, on the same source. All manufacturer's recommendations were recorded at this time.
The "unfair comparison" consisted of using dissimilar mics, in the same configuration, on the same source. I did this, because most of us have to make mics work in an unintended application, in a pinch.

The review sessions went well. We are all still friends. (Some people get quite frazzled during the recording process. I know of some musicians that will not even go into the studio building that they have recorded in.) Historically, equipment reviews have been edited through rose-colored-political-correction lenses. This is not true here.
During the week that we recorded, Oklahoma had a record number of tornados. If we didn't have a few tornados in the air, it was just storming big time. Fortunately we received no damage. We were not able to record all of the intended sources. We did do enough to call it complete.
Experiencing Worship, The Study
