I can’t recall a specific mention of this factor in the Dunkerley et al Decca methods book…if it’s there and you’re able to supply a page reference that would be great 👍 !

Is it generally a case of adding a couple of feet to typical mic height, or do you leave the ‘seated’ mic height unchanged ?

Thanks for your advice and expertise !
