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.

Cardioid

Cardioid is a directional microphone pickup pattern that captures sound primarily from the front while reducing sound from the sides and rear. It is widely used for vocals, podcasting, and live sound, helping to control background noise and reduce feedback in both studio and performance environments.

Dynamic

Dynamic microphones are robust, reliable microphones designed to handle high sound pressure levels and demanding environments. They are commonly used for live vocals, guitar amplifiers, drums, and broadcast, where durability and controlled sound are important. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power and perform well in loud settings.

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.

Lavalier

Lavalier microphones are small, discreet microphones designed to be clipped to clothing for hands-free use. They are commonly used in broadcast, theatre, film, presentations, and content creation, providing clear voice capture while remaining visually unobtrusive.

Live

Live microphones are built for performance environments where reliability, durability and feedback control are essential. They are designed to handle high sound-pressure levels, resist handling noise and deliver consistent sound on stage, whether for vocals, instruments or spoken word.

Typically using dynamic or rugged condenser designs, live mics focus on clear projection and controlled pickup patterns to minimise bleed from other instruments. They are a staple of gigs, rehearsals and touring setups, providing dependable sound quality in demanding, real-world conditions.

Wireless

Wireless microphones use radio transmission to send audio from the microphone to a receiver without a physical cable. They are widely used in live performance, broadcast, theatre, and presentations, allowing freedom of movement while maintaining clear and reliable sound.
