source results in more room ambience.

Tips
Use a pop filter (Shure PS-6) to prevent
plosives.
Place near the sound hole for a full sound,
or near the 12th fret for a balanced, natural
sound.
Place in front of the drum kit to capture more
of the kick drum, or as an overhead (above
the kit, facing down) to capture more cymbals.
Consider using additional Shure microphones
placed on individual drums for more mixing
flexibility and a thicker sound.
Aim towards the center of the speaker for a
clear, aggressive sound, or towards the edge
of the speaker for a mellow sound.
For a single instrument, place the microphone
close to the source. For a horn or string
section, arrange players at an equal distance
from the microphone.
Face the microphone towards the group,
centered between instruments.
