Microphone Placement - M-Audio UBER MIC Guide D'utilisation

Omni
Omni means that the microphone picks up sound equally from all directions. Use this pattern setting
in situations where you want to capture the ambience of the room. Start by placing the front of the
microphone at the primary sound source. This pattern setting is ideal for conference calls, field
recordings, or events/orchestra.
Stereo
Stereo means that the microphone picks up sound at the left and right sides of the microphone. To
start, point the front of the microphone at the sound source, within 2 inches or several feet. Move the
sound source to the left or right side of the microphone to get more of the source in either the left or
right channel. This pattern setting is ideal for vocals, choir, or instruments. If you are using recording
software, set the recording channel as a stereo track (2 channels). This will ensure that your stereo
recording is captured properly.

Microphone Placement

Uber Mic is a side-address microphone, which
receives sound from an angle perpendicular to the
mic—as opposed to a front-address mic, which
accepts sound from the "end" of the microphone.
