What is the microphone in podcasts?
The microphone is the first link in the connection between you and your audience. But what makes one mic more appropriate for podcasting than another? It really comes down to four things:
How do listeners judge a podcast?
Listeners often judge a podcast by its sound quality. No matter the format or topic of your podcast, your listeners are comparing your sound to what they hear on the radio and other podcasts produced by major broadcast outlets. Ironically, your goal is to make your podcast sound so good that no one notices how it sounds.
What is PGA27 mic?
The PGA27 gives you the crisp, detailed sound of a studio condenser microphone with a balanced XLR output that connects to your mixer through a standard mic cable. It's very sensitive, so even inexpensive mixers or preamps with less-than-ideal specs will work fine as long as they provide phantom power.
What mics are less sensitive to sound?
Cardioid mics are less sensitive to sound from the sides and back, which reduces pickup of room noise and reflections. Tighter pickup patterns like supercardioid or shotgun mics may reject even more noise, but they require your mouth to stay focused on a much smaller area to avoid noticeable variations in level.
Why is a condenser microphone more sensitive?
A higher output level can be useful because the signal doesn't need to be amplified as much by the mixer . Amplification adds hiss, and less-expensive mixers generate more of it.
Which is better: a condenser mic or a dynamic mic?
Condenser mics have better response to high frequencies than dynamic mics. This gives condensers a crisp, detailed sound; however, it can be a problem for podcasters who record at home. When you use a condenser mic, you risk picking up too much of the shhh sound from air vents or extra noises from the lips and tongue.
How does a digital microphone work?
Digital microphones can go even further, with an internal equalizer that lets you shape the frequency response of the mic to reduce room noise and a compressor that smoothes out variations in speech level so that your listeners aren't constantly reaching for the volume control.
