Miking 2 People: Microphone Placement to Avoid Bleed and Phase Issues
When you shoot an interview or panel discussion or even a narrative film with two or more people where you use a separate mic for each person, there are a couple of common issues which can arise. These are mic bleed and phase issues. In this episode we talk a little about the 3 to 1 rule for mic placement which helps prevent phase issues and can also reduce mic bleed. We also show how to aim your mics so that you use their rejection feature (polar pattern) to reduce mic bleed.
In an upcoming episode we’ll also talk about mixing to help reduce bleed even further.
