  Location Recording - Tutorial
Two cardioid microphones are placed at 90 degrees and the capsules are positioned as close as possible.
The microphone should be placed on the opposite side of the cymbal that the drummer hits and at a distance great enough that there is no threat the cymbal will hit the microphone.
The microphone should be about 6" to 12" from the mouth with a windscreen ½ the distance between the singer and the microphone.

 Microphones for your Home Studio
A "Cardioid" microphone is more sensitive to sounds directly in front of it than to sounds 90 degrees off to either side (when plotted on a graph the response pattern looks heart-shaped, hence the name).
A mic with a cardioid pattern is even less sensitive to sounds directly behind it — in fact, cardioid mics practically cancel pickup of sounds emanating from directly behind the mic.
When placing cardioid-patterned microphones on a stage or in the studio, remember the 4-to-1 rule—each microphone should be at least four times as far from the next one as it is from the sound source.
