Microphones

Microphones are essential tools for capturing sound in recording, broadcast, and live performance. Different microphone types are designed for different sources, environments, and uses, from studio vocals and instruments to live sound and field recording. Choosing the right microphone depends on factors such as sound source, room acoustics, sensitivity, and the character you want to capture.

Headset

Headset microphones are worn on the head, keeping the microphone positioned close to the mouth for consistent, hands-free sound capture. They are widely used in live performance, theatre, broadcasting, fitness instruction and presentations where freedom of movement and reliable vocal level are essential.

Designed to be lightweight and discreet, headset mics offer clear speech intelligibility while reducing changes in volume caused by head movement. Their stable placement makes them ideal for energetic performers or speakers who need dependable, even vocal pickup throughout a session or show.

Omnidirectional

Omnidirectional microphones capture sound equally from all directions, providing a natural and open recording that reflects the full acoustic environment. They are often used in studio, live and location settings where an accurate sense of space and room ambience is desired.

Because they do not favour a single direction, omnidirectional mics are less affected by proximity effect and handle movement around the microphone more smoothly. This makes them ideal for group vocals, round-table discussions, ambient recording and situations where consistent sound pickup is more important than isolating a single source.
