When choosing a microphone, you should pay attention not only to the required technical characteristics. Its unique sound will also be important, capable of reproducing every shade of your voice. To do this, you will need not to choose "by eye", but to listen and compare.
Instructions
Step 1
In stores, on the price tags of various microphones, you can see the inscription "Universal". The purpose of such instruments is quite varied, including vocal. So it is worth stopping your choice on such models.
Step 2
Also, buyers can see the type of each microphone, for example, dynamic. As a rule, microphones of this type are durable, it is difficult to spoil them or overload them with too loud sound (the only exception is a ribbon dynamic microphone). Moreover, they do not require any power supply. The technique is arranged in this way: a coil of very thin wire, located in the field of a permanent magnet, is attached to a membrane. And the electrical signal, used just for recording sound, is generated when the membrane vibrates.
Step 3
The next important indicator when choosing is the maximum acoustic pressure. It means a number that shows how strong the sound can be transmitted by the microphone without distortion. And if you are going to purchase a microphone for vocals, pay close attention to the value of this parameter.
Step 4
In the event that ease of use, ease of use, low price, small size are also important to you, it is recommended to purchase a radio microphone, that is, one that is equipped with a radio channel for transmitting audio information. The microphone itself will determine the zone of acoustic sensitivity (20-30 meters), and the radio transmitter will establish the range of the radio link. The main parameter for the latter will be power, carrier frequency stability, as well as the type of modulation and frequency range. It should be noted that such radio devices are often used when performing on stage. Be aware, however, that strong interference may occur if multiple microphones of this type are used.
