FAQ
Why does one need a microphone?
A microphone is a quite decent device, of course, if you are a person that deals with talks. It doesn’t mean that you should only sing or perform o stage or in a recording studio, a microphone is a device that is used by speakers such as motivational ones, and even they are used by YouTubers nowadays.
If you are one of those people that “works with talking” you definitely need one!
Are microphones expensive?
I will answer the question only based on the microphones that I mentioned throughout the article! All the microphones added have an expensive price, besides the first one which is listed as the best budget. There is a variety of choices all over the market but you will notice that microphones are expensive.
Is a microphone worth it?
When it comes to worth, a microphone is worth it only if you need one! What do I mean by that? Well, if you are a professional in the world of sound, you already know that a microphone is an essential device, but if you are just a sound listener, meaning a music fan, I don’t think that you would like to spend too much money on it unless you find a cheap one.
What are some extra accessories i might need?
A mixer and a pop filter can improve the quality of your voice. To record human voice properly, a pop filter will definitely come in handy.
What’s the difference between dynamic microphones and condenser mics?
Condenser microphones are more sensitive than dynamic microphones, meaning they pick up more sounds. For singing and doing voice overs I’d recommend dynamic microphones.
