Classical Guitar Microphone Placement

for recording my classical guitar

Basically perfection in a microphone for recording classical guitar. Such low room noise from the east without needing to use any special preamps. Check the quality of this simple recording… https://open.spotify.com/album/6H24l6vYDPkZekK0IsYCAt?si=_QQuC0vaTyG1dEz1ChznIA

This helped me to eliminate a majority of the reflections in a small room. It really helps to refine and focus the sound. If you try this I recommend pulling the microphone out as far away as you possibly can from it. I went so far as to get an extension so that I could pull the microphone out even a little bit further than what I would otherwise be able to with the stock hardware. With the microphone set up the way they suggest the sound is too dry for me. I pulled it out to the point that I thought the filter would no longer have an effect and yet it did! Obviously something like this has to be experimented with until you find the perfect placement in your situation. If I would have only used their suggested placement I probably would have ended up returning the product, but as it is I ended up getting perfect results. I'm primarily using this to record acoustic guitar and vocal with a single take. It made a huge difference in how the guitar sounded! It brought so much definition that was previously lacking. I also find the vocals to have a beautiful intimate sound to them. Eventually I plan on using this for podcast work as well. I love how it takes the environment out of the recording without losing a sense of space. Again, my suggestion is that you experiment. My microphone is placed much farther away from the filter than I ever thought possible, and yet the filter is working beautifully like that.

Perfect fit in my Cordoba classical guitar and very fast delivery. You couldn't for better service.

been using this with a pair of MXL CR21 mics to record classical guitar, paired with these mics it captures the finest of details with crystal clear quality, my only complaint is the lack of stock from being sold out but from my experience only takes around 5 weeks from a backorder which is not bad

I placed it carefully inside my classical guitar where it connects to the pre-amp in addition to the pick-up that it comes with. It works very nicely as it grabs the sound echoed by the guitar itself to complement the sound from the strings on the saddle.

This is my first time to buy a foot stool because I'm not really a classical guitar player. I just need one just to record one of my songs for which I play classical guitar. So I'm not familiar with foot stools, but I think this is very much good enough for my use, so I'm happy with it. And it was a good price for me, too.

I mainly record Pipe Organ and other classical type music from all guitar to a full orchestra if necessary...and even an occasional thunderstorm complete with hail! With the volume set right and you put the headphones on and take them off, the sound is basically identical. They are comfortable, fold up and one serious plus to me is the 3 different types of wire feeds a coiled cord, a long straight cord and a short one when it is used in close quarters. This is an excellent set of headphones for the money, I recommend them pretty highly.

The C411pp produces a reasonably accurate reproduction of the sound of my O-hole mandolin and classical guitar. The signal is strong (I set the guitar below unity), giving me plenty of headroom on my mixer. The pickup goes on easily and comes off easily. I wish the putty was a little less sticky; you have to be careful to get if all off the surface of the instrument.

Works very well on my Cordoba nylon string classical guitar. Firm pressure, grip is effective but doesn't damage anything. Easy to use.
