Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones are known for their durability, high sound pressure handling, and controlled response. They are commonly used for live vocals, guitar amps, drums, and broadcast applications, where reliability and resistance to feedback are important. Dynamic microphones do not require phantom power and perform well in loud environments, making them a dependable choice for both stage and studio use.

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.

Hypercardioid

Hypercardioid microphones use a very tight pickup pattern that focuses strongly on sound from the front while rejecting most noise from the sides. Compared to cardioid microphones, they provide greater isolation, making them useful in situations where background noise or nearby sound sources need to be controlled.

Because of their focused sensitivity, hypercardioid mics are often used for live sound, stage vocals, drum miking and dialogue recording. They do have a small pickup area at the rear, so careful positioning is important, but when used correctly they deliver excellent clarity and separation in demanding environments.

Instrument

Instrument microphones are designed to capture the sound of musical instruments accurately and reliably. They are commonly used on guitar amplifiers, drums, brass, strings, and acoustic instruments, with designs suited to handling high sound levels while preserving clarity and detail.
