## Introduction In this module, we will explore the fundamentals of stereo micing techniques, including how different microphone placements can affect the stereo image, common techniques such as XY, ORTF, and Blumlein, and how to avoid phase issues when using multiple microphones. ## Objectives By the end of this module, you will be able to: - Understand the principles of stereo micing and its impact on audio recordings - Differentiate between various stereo micing techniques such as XY, ORTF, and Blumlein - Implement the 3:1 rule to minimize phase issues - Apply stereo micing techniques to achieve desired spatial effects in recordings ## Module Navigation #### Stereo Microphone Techniques - [[Phasing]] - [[AB or Spaced Pair]] - [[Coincident and Near-Coincident Techniques]] - [[Beyond Stereo - Spatial Audio]]
