The microphone can be used for different purposes and tasks. There are nuances and points to consider here. But still, there is a special algorithm for choosing a good microphone that will help you do this without problems.
Instructions
Step 1
Decide for what purpose the microphone will be used. For example, you want to record a voice. In this case, a simple desktop microphone will suffice. If you need to record music or vocals, choose a higher quality device.
Step 2
Choose between table and headset microphones. If you are recording musical instruments or several types of vocals on one device, then in this case it is better to purchase a desktop version. If you only need to record your own voice, then the headset type will come in handy. There are certain advantages to a headset microphone as well. Its head is designed so that the distance between the microphone and the mouth is always the same.
Step 3
Choose between USB or audio connection. Microphones of the first type are connected to the computer without using a sound card. Install USB microphone software for precise operation. Analog audio microphones are connected directly to the sound card of the computer through a special plug. Typically these types of devices have two plugs, one for the microphone and the other for the headphones. Desktop PC devices have only one connector.
Step 4
Set a price range. Voice microphones can cost from 300 to 3000 rubles. For audio recording, you will find even cheaper options. There are plenty of such devices on the market now. A higher price does not always mean a better product. But if you're recording voice for professional purposes, you'll have to invest in a better microphone.
Step 5
Review instructions and specifications. For colloquial use, make sure the microphone has frequencies between 300 and 4000 Hz. Choose an unidirectional microphone or an omnidirectional one. The first transmits sound in close proximity to it, and the second - from all directions.
