Post pics of your mic'd up amps - round 2

Meriphew · 4th June 2005

There was an old thread with a bunch of pics of mic'd up amps/cabs. Let's do a new/current version - post your pics and give us a little info on the chain.

Here's a shot from a recent session:

I used a 57 and a Km 86 (w/ -10 dB pad) for all the overdubs, through 2 Chandler Channels, combined through a mini mixer into an LA-3a, and direct into ProTools. I also sometimes have a Quad 8 EQ in the path after the compressor. The 86 is on the outside rim of the voice coil cover, and the 57 is halfway between the coil cover and the edge of the speaker. The mics are in the same plane (diaphragms the same distance from the grill).

When I used the Top Hat cab, I put one mic on each speaker.

Thanks,

I would assume they bring a little protection for the mics....

Ditto... my guess is they are there to stop the moving air from the speaker damaging the capsule...

Better be safe than sorry. Don't want the moving air from the cones to destroy the capsules....
