MADcHATTER Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 There are alot of things to consider before buying a mic, and just asking which ones would be good or cheap wont really help you much. You have to consider first, what kind of setup you have. What type of mixer (if any) are you using. What type of connector for a Mic (IE: XLR, RCA, ¼" Stereo, USB...etc) wether or not you need high impedence or low impedence. Balanced or Unbalanced conductors. Resistance levels. Then, of course, comes the mic itself. Frequency Ranges, noise resistance for RF or EMI, Throughput signal, wether or not the mic needs a phantom power supply or direct power. How durable it is and wether a Condenser mic will fit the situation, a Dynamic mic, or a Ribbon mic will. Many mic's are made for more-or-less specific applications. You wouldnt want to use a mic designed for a bass drum for vocals would you? These are just some of the things you need to consider before going out, buying a mic, then finding out it wont work with your setup or doesnt work to it's fullest. Nothing it more aggravating than going out, buying a mic...then learning it wont work with, or for, your particular setup or situation. Do some research on what you'll be plugging into and what you will require. Then find out if a mic will work with all that and give you the performance you need for the right price.

JohnF30 Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 Try a RODE, or a shure. They are both reliable brands and they have brilliant sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyC Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 You can be SHURE that a SHURE will do the trick! However, I picked up a mic recently for around £25 and it's fantastic. Condenser mic of course. The T-bone SC300. A very good all rounder. Davey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBVoice Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I have 4 AKG Precision 120 microphones for my internet radio show and the sound is really good for the price ($99). I'm not a pro with mics so I really have nothing to compare it to. Maybe I'll test it out and do a few voice overs on here. I use it for recording commercials, interviews and doing live broadcasts.
