This document discusses audio equipment and acoustics for recording. It describes various microphone mounts like clips, pop shields, and shock mounts. It also covers acoustic concepts such as reverb from sound bouncing off walls, absorption and reflection filters, the proximity effect of bass increasing the closer a microphone is placed, and how outdoor recording has no reverb but ambient sound. Boundary microphones can be mounted directly onto surfaces.
