For a more intimate stereo sound, place one Spark SL on a stand as you would normally. Next, place a second
Spark SL upside down, directly above the first Spark SL, and point them 90 degrees apart (perpendicular) from
one another. Now, position the instrument (or instruments) you wish to record directly in front of the intersection
of the two microphones’ polar patterns, about 6-24 inches away from the Spark SLs. The larger you make the
angle, the wider the stereo image will be. This technique is great for recording acoustic guitars, banjos, upright
pianos, drums, or just about any other acoustic instruments.
ADDITIONAL APPLICATIONS
The Spark SL is not just for instruments and singers! Spark SL is an ideal desktop microphone for applications
such as dictation, voice recording and Internet telephony, and of course, podcasting! You’ll also love it for
looping dialog over your professional or home movies. You can connect the Spark SL to your computer
with Blue’s Icicle XLR to USB adapter, or other USB audio converters.
OK, we’ve lit the fuse—now it’s time to light up Spark SL and create some professional-quality recordings!
We hope you enjoy your purchase!
