| I often use two mics, even on a cabinet with identical or a singel driver. I like to blend two different mics to get what I'm after before I reach for EQ. Of course, sometimes a single mic is enough.
I often end up with a dynamic and a condenser. The trick is to listen for phase problems. I use Beyer DT770M isolated headphones for this. You can also have someone moving the mics around while you are listening in the control room. In general the mics ends up at the same distance from the drivers, but that can be tricky to measure, especially if the drivers are different from each other.
The same trick works great for guitar amps too.
Who knows, in your case you might be lucky and get what you want from a singel mic. Through up a couple and then most important: LISTEN!
Also remember that when you put a mic near a spaker the sound can change dramatically from a tiny movement of the mic. |
