[. . . ] Commentary Position the microphone at the bottom of the kick drum, approx. The lower microphone must be phase-reversed to avoid phasecancellation effects due to the second microphone being on the other side of the drumskin.
In order to prevent interference due to crosstalk between adjacent sound sources, try to position the microphone so that the interfering sound source is located in the angle area of the highest cancellation of the microphone (approx. 180°; see polar diagram).
