Query: Mic Models In Hd500

[user-1775361]

Are there any descriptions anywhere in the guides for how some of the modeled mics sound?

 

Also, is there a way to distance mic?  I've read through all the HD 500 manuals, and I may have read that, but am a little bit overwhelmed by all the info and am now setting down to program on the HD itself, to start matching the knowledge from that with some "hands on." 

 

Thanks in advance

As far as how they sound, I'd say if you search on Google under the different model names of the mics, you should be able to get some opinions. All the mics are pretty standard studio mics. If you want to add distance between the mic and the cab, this is what the E.R. (early reflections) parameter does. Setting it higher will moves the mic further from the cab, so you get more of the sound of the virtual room.

Thanks Phil_m

 

When I did some hands on yesterday, I refound the table where the mics were listed in the Advanced Guide and messed around with the room reflections.  I know what some of those mics sound like from having used them, but some of them I'm not familiar with - will check your google suggestion though--good idea.  Right now, I'm playing with setting up an envelope filter for a bass tone, so the reflections might be more noticeable/useful on some guitar tones.
