Deciding upon the right microphone for you, whatever your activity is essential to producing great content, but more imperative sound quality. Create the foundation and then empower with CAYA Audio’s
top tips to selecting the right microphone for you.
- Before you immediately go off and make that purchase, first establish what the purpose of the microphone will be. There are several mics on the market, as no one mic does everything! You don’t want to buy a microphone which is not fit for purpose and therefore produces poor quality material.
- Decide on the type of mic, the main types are Dynamic, Ribbon,
Condenser and MEMS being the newest edition. The different types vary between the main operating board. - Next, there are various pick-up patterns namely, omnidirectional, bi-directional, cardioid all of which cater to specific needs. For example, as a singer the best pick-up is said to be from cardioid or super-cardioid polar pattern mics, as they pick up best from directly in-front, whilst rejecting sound from the back.
- Other core features that you should check out are, sound pressure level, frequency response, durability
- The CAYA X3E available in both MEMS and Condenser models are suitable for all content creation activities, with a cardioid pick-up pattern that can cater greatly for Singers, Podcasters, voice recordings and You Tubers. The X3E picks up very little acoustic environment sound and penetrates direct pick up.
