Different stereo techniques to use for choirs
One way to produce a choir is with several spot microphones which you place in the mix with a pan pot. The high defintion and clarity offered by a number of DPA directional microphones 4011-TL and 4015-TL is the serious choice.
Alternatively, the broad selection of DPA Stereo Kits can all be used for choirs with great success. All kits are carefully matched and are being delivered in sturdy cases with a range of accessories. Depending on style and acoustics of the recording room, choose one of the following kits:
3521 or 3511 for ORTF
Excellent as a spot pair for supporting a choir section of an orchestra. The stereo imaging and spread is superb and the small recording angle offers a good separation. Tip: The CXO4000 microphone holder included in the 3521 kit can be hung down from the ceiling in the microphone cables.
3503 or 3506 for AB stereo
In solo recordings of a choir that should blend in with the timbre of the hall, our omnidirectional microphones offer you the most natural reproduction.
3532-S, 3532-SP or 3532-T for low noise, high sensitivity AB stereo
As with the 3503 and 3506, the 3532 kits use AB technique offered by omni microphones to capture true room atmosphere. These exclusive kits use two large diaphragm microphones 4041. The larger the diaphragm, the lower the self-noise and the higher the sensitivity.
