time aligning a spot microphone the simple way

Hi Guys,

here is how to get a spot microphone just right if you again forgot measure
or record a clap near it:

1) know the order of magnitude of the required delay so that you start out
close to right

2) pan suitable main pair microphone fully left or right

3) pan spot mic fully right

4) get volume reasonably balanced

<this does it!>

5) adjust delay for proper center image of spot microphone sound source

</this does it!>

6) add a few milliseconds if spot microphone sound source protrudes when
properly mixed.

Note: adjustment sensitivity is single milliseconds. May for some be easier
when listening via headphones and for some be easier when listening via
loudspeakers, not fully verified what works best, try both!

Kind regards

Peter Larsen
