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.

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.

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.

USB

USB microphones and audio devices connect directly to a computer or mobile device without the need for an external audio interface. They are widely used for podcasting, streaming, voiceover, and home recording, offering a simple and reliable plug-and-play recording solution.

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.
