@jurthesis{nicols2006clarinet, Abstract = {Microphone positions are an important consideration to take into account when recording any sound or instrument. Factors such as location, distance and the type of microphone used will affect the sound recorded. A series of tones were recorded using two common types of microphone placed at several positions. Short sections were chosen and mathematically analysed using Fourier Analysis. These were compared with expected characteristics based upon physical aspects of the instrument and the associated acoustic properties. Results revealed that the dynamic microphone offered the most accurate represen- tation of the source sound and that microphones placed adjacent to the instru- ment's lower joint gave data corresponding to existing research the most.}, Address = {Music Section, LICA, Lancaster University, Lancaster, Bailrigg, LA1 4YX}, Author = {Andrew Robert Nicols}, Keywords = {music, sound recording, clarinet, acoustics}, Month = {May}, School = {Lancaster University}, Title = {A comparison of clarinet recordings: Using condensor and dynamic microphones at different placements}, Type = {Thesis}, Url = {http://www.andrewrn.co.uk/downloads/papers/files/ugdiss.pdf}, Year = {2006} }
