The ORTF stereo technique provides the recording with a wider stereo image than XY stereo while still preserving a reasonable amount of mono information. Be aware, that directional microphones exhibit low-frequency loss at larger distances and will result in a lack of richness and energy in sound color.

A spaced ORTF pair can be pulled away from the piano a couple of feet (or to taste) to excellent effect. Another benefit of this setup is that you can be flexible in your choice of mics. While ORTF generally favors a small-diaphragm condenser, I find that sometimes a large-diaphragm pair can help to capture a more broad-shouldered sound.

2021年6月22日 · I have been recording my upright Blüthner using A/B mode but am going to change to ORTF. I'm interested to learn how others have arranged the mics. I'm well aware of the distance and angular settings but I can't decide how to …

The ORTF stereo technique, also known as side-other-side, is a microphone technique used to record stereo sound. It was devised around 1960 at the now-defunct Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française (ORTF).

2017年10月9日 · The ORTF technique — developed by French broadcast engineers to simulate human hearing — utilizes two small-diaphragm condensers at a 110-degree angle with their capsules spaced 17 centimeters apart to approximate the position of our ears. For the best sound, move the instrument out into the open if possible.

2023年5月13日 · ORTF mic technique simulates the position of our ears on our head. It emulates how we hear, capturing both ITDs and IIDs to create a natural-sounding stereo image. It provides a good balance between ambiance/spaciousness and stereo …

최근 피아노녹음에서는 아주 기본적인 녹음방식중에 하나인 ORTF 방식을 주로 사용합니다. 1960년대 라디오프랑스의 엔지니어들이 개발한 방식으로 단일지향성 마이크를 사진과 같은 각도와 거리에 두고 세팅하여 녹음하는 방식인데요. 제가 MS 마이킹과 함께 가장 좋아하는 녹음방법이기도 합니다. 무엇보다도 정확한 정위감에 넓은 스테레오 이미지를 얻을 수 있는 방식입니다만. 위 가이드와 위치나 각도가 달라지면 또 전혀 다른 소리를 들려주는, 특히나 섬세한 방식이기도 …

ORTF代表“Office deRadiodiffusion-Television Francaise”，是一种立体声麦克风技术，由法国电台于1960年开发。 与其他流行的立体声录音技术（如X-Y立体声和Blumlein立体声）不同，ORTF不是重合的、两个麦克风尽可能靠近的立体声设置。

The ORTF technique involves placing two cardioid mics in a specific pattern, with the capsules spaced 17cm apart and angled at 110 degrees. This technique is effective for capturing a natural stereo image and is particularly useful for recording grand pianos. The mics should be positioned above the pianist’s head, angled towards the hammers.

There are dozens of possible ways to place the microphones for recording a piano. We limited ourselves to only four. No filtering or effects have been used in any of our recordings.
