Thanks for the compliments guys, appreciated
 .Vinod that may be the first time anyone's ever complimented me on brevity . Probably comes from years of practice editing and proofreading other peoples' writing. My old thesis was nearly double the 'word limit' (about 130,000 words, limit was 60-70,000) albeit my external examiners told the examining University that it was the right length and succinct for the argument put across - which I guess was a nice way of saying the argument was too complicated  . Proximity effect - ummm - phase cancellation/addition caused where the source lies within or on the nodal length of the wave recorded. Long time since I did physics but I think that's ok as a definition. Cheers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

QUOTE (Vinod Saranga @ May 10 2008, 04:57 AM)  Hi frequencies have short nodal lenghts so there is more chance to cancellation am I right or  Yes about the lengths but not sure about the chance for cancellation. I think partly since high frequency sounds tend to be omni directional whereas low frequency is more uni-directional. High frequency sort of radiates out as a sphere whereas low tends to project forward. So for the former you may get proximity on-axis but you will also pick up the same frequency from the off-axis that's gone backwards and off to the sides and not caused proximity (if that makes sense) whereas for the low frequency proximity becomes a big issue. For low frequency most of the off-axis went in the same direction and so have a v similar amount of time and distance to come to the same on-axis point as the on-axis wavefront; at the proximity point they are more likely to cross in phase and so you're more likely to end up with a boomey bass. Since the frequencies produced by a guitar are often multiple - because you can play a chord and produce harmonics - then you end up having to deal with the 'worst case' - in this case the open string note and that then gives you the ps distance for proximity. For a guitar proximity is pretty much the bridge to nut string distance - 1 complete wave cycle of the open string note. So generally you need to place the mic either slightly within this distance or a little bit beyond. Bleh - not a good explanation I'm afraid and not in a single line/sentence either  Cheers, Tony Long time since I did any physics though so not sure how accurate my 'explanation' is though -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
