CHOOSE A MICROPHONE TYPE

Improve your audio by choosing the best microphone for video

SHOTGUN MIC

SO-CALLED BECAUSE OF THE PHYSICAL DESIGN, THESE MICS ARE POPULAR FOR VLOGGERS AND IN CINEMA MOVIE PRODUCTION. THEY ARE GREAT FOR CAPTURING DIRECTIONAL SOUND AND CAN BE HOT-SHOE MOUNTED OR PLACED ON A BOOM. BEST FOR OVERALL QUALITY.

LAVALIER (LAV) MIC

SMALL, PORTABLE MICROPHONES WHICH EASILY CLIP ONTO THE SPEAKER’S CLOTHING, TO KEEP THEM IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THEIR MOUTH. THESE ARE THE BEST CHOICE FOR INTERVIEWS AND VOICE CAPTURE BUT CAN BE MORE PRONE TO INTERFERENCE.

STUDIO MIC

AS THE NAME SUGGESTS, THESE ARE IDEAL FOR INDOOR, STUDIO-BASED VIDEO. WHILE THEY CAN BE USED ELSEWHERE THEY ARE DESIGNED TO BE STOOD ON A DESK, SO ARE LESS PRACTICAL OUTDOORS. THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR VOICEOVERS OR TALK-TO-CAMERA CLIPS.
