What do I need to know about microphones?

In most cases, to use a microphone you will require either a mixing desk, amplifier or an audio interface that will provide the microphone with the correct power.

What makes a good microphone?

While quality components and design definitely play their parts, it's the sound of the microphone that really makes it good. Microphones like the Shure SM58 and SM57 or the Neumann U87 are all different from each other, but are seen as benchmarks and essential parts of a professional studio.

How do I choose the right microphone?

This depends on what you intend to use a microphone for, if you're singing on stage or recording in a boxy room, then a Dynamic microphone may be a good option. However, if you're recording piano in a room with great acoustics, a Condenser would be ideal. If you're unsure of what you need, ask us in store or online and we'll be happy to help.

What are the different types of microphones?

Dynamic and Condenser microphones are your main two types of microphones. Both are available in wireless formats and Condenser microphones come in many other variations, including stereo mics, camera mics and shotgun mics. There are also Ribbon microphones, which sit tonally somewhere between Dynamic and Condenser microphones.
