mikrofonistusmenetelmä

mikrofonistusmenetelmä refers to a method of audio recording or sound reproduction that relies heavily on the placement and selection of microphones. The term itself, a combination of "mikrofoni" (microphone) and a suffix implying a method or technique, highlights the central role of the microphone in the process. This approach emphasizes that the quality and character of the recorded sound are directly and significantly influenced by the types of microphones used, their precise positioning relative to the sound source, and how these microphones are combined or processed.

In practice, mikrofonistusmenetelmä involves careful consideration of factors such as microphone polar patterns (e.g., cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-eight), frequency response, sensitivity, and transient response. The spatial arrangement of microphones, including techniques like spaced pairs, XY coincident, ORTF, and mid-side recording, is also a crucial element. The goal is to capture the desired sonic qualities, such as the natural reverberation of a space, the direct sound of an instrument, or a specific stereo image, with the highest fidelity and artistic intent. Different mikrofonistusmenetelmäs are employed depending on the source material, the acoustic environment, and the desired artistic outcome, ranging from simple single-microphone techniques to complex multi-microphone arrays.
