It hase two forward facing capsules.

957 microphone

2011-06-18 Thread don ball
Sense the microphone has cartioid mic capsules inside you should face the 
mic head on. you can rotate the capsules forward for the narrowest stereo 
effect. This is a good mic.

hello joe, thanks for the reply, i record using a plextalk  recorder, 
place the microphone in a stand on the table, my guest sits on one side of 
the mike and i on the other, when playhing it back yes, my speakers are 
quite wide apart, if i listen through headphones it is not so bad, but the 
finished piece has to go out on radio, so i want to have it just right, 
but i'm never happy with the end result, i'm a little finicky about audio, 
so i'd like to get it up to a high standard, thanks for taking the trouble 
joe to answer my question, take care, regards from ireland, joe.

you should use the narrow setting. Plus there is a capsule rotator in side 
the mic. Rotate the capsules completely forwared and use the narrow mic 
setting by turning the on switch to the first setting. it is a verry good 
mic that you can use for many aplications. it is particularly good for 
recording in a car or a bus.

a Verry good mic.

hello friends, last year i was given a microphone as a  father's day 
present, my family wwent to a lot of trouble to make sure i got a good 
one, it's a sony ECM-MS957  and a beauty, however  when i do interviews 
with it the stereo seems really wide, i have two settings on the mike, and 
i've tried them both, but even then the person i'm interviewing sounds as 
though he was on the other side of the street, what i'm doing is when in 
sound forge seven i go to the process menu, and tab down to channel 
processor, and go to pan stereo, is there another way, or is that the way 
i should be going, as i say it's a brilliant mike, but getting the balance 
just right is bugging me, can anyone suggest anything else i should be 
doing, i'm using sound forge  seven, thanks for taking the time to read 
this, regards from ireland, joe.

microphone and stereo question

2011-06-18 Thread joe bollard
hello again friends, well, firstly, i want to thank all those who came up with 
suggestions, no, i want the radio material to be in stereo, secondly, i carried 
out an experiment last night, [it's saturday morning here in ireland] using my 
good lady wife as a guinea pig, and eureka, i got it just right, arranging the 
seating and moving the mike a little, we did a couple of dummy interviews, and 
yes, i'm delighted with the end result, this time she didn't sound as though 
she was in the next room, thanks again guys, from a grateful irishman, take 
care, travel safely, joe.
