Want to buy a microphone?

Are you a creator, gamer or professional? Then you probably already have a microphone or you are currently looking for a microphone. Without a microphone, your sound will sound very unprofessional. You don't want this in your videos or in a professional setting. There are many different types of microphones with different specifications that excel in certain situations. We distinguish between Pin microphones, Wireless microphones, Directional microphones, Studio microphones and Hand microphones. Each of these microphones has a specific use. It is important that you buy a microphone that suits your needs and situation. If you have any questions about this, do not hesitate to contact our customer service. They will be happy to tell you everything about the different microphones. In addition to a microphone, you can also consider buying microphone accessories. These are useful tools to improve your content or sound. For example, you can think of a microphone arm or pop cap.

Why should I use a microphone?

An external microphone is always recommended if you are a gamer, content creator or professional. An external microphone is always better than an internal microphone of a phone or laptop. A microphone of € 9.95 can already make a huge difference in sound quality compared to the internal microphone of your device.

In addition, microphones are often much better at excluding ambient noise. This allows you to record better in busy environments without the sound becoming unusable. For example, think of recording an interview in a public environment. With a telephone there will be a lot of noise in your recording, but when you use a cardioid microphone, or pin microphone, this will be much less. This ultimately ensures a more professional interview/recording.

Finally, you can vary the placement of a microphone. For example, you can pin a clip microphone to your shirt. This way, you don't have to hold the microphone all the time. But you can also choose to place a microphone on a stand. You can then easily move it towards or away from your mouth. This allows you to easily switch between sound types.

What should I pay attention to when buying a microphone?

When buying a microphone, there are many things you need to consider. This is because there are many microphones that all have different purposes.

Microphone type

The first thing to pay attention to is the type of microphone you need. You have dynamic microphones and condenser microphones. A dynamic microphone is a microphone that is less sensitive. This makes a dynamic microphone ideal for use during performances or recordings in busy environments. A condenser microphone is the opposite. A condenser microphone is sensitive and is therefore ideal for use in quiet environments. Think of a studio or your room, for example.

Directional characteristic

To choose a suitable microphone, it is important to look at the directional characteristics. The directional characteristics indicate the sensitivity of the microphone. The angle and distance from which the sound comes are taken into account. There are different directional characteristics: cardioid, supercardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional.

Cardioid Microphones

only pick up the sound at the front. Unwanted background noises are well filtered out by this microphone. This type of microphone is common and most microphones have this directional characteristic.

Supercardioid Microphones

picks up sound very focused. This type of microphone is very sensitive from the front, just like cardioid microphones. Sound from the back is hardly picked up. A shotgun microphone is a good example of a supercardioid microphone. This type of microphone is also used on stage for singing.

Omnidirectional microphones

record sound from all directions. Lapel microphones are a good example of this. With this microphone, it doesn't matter so much in which direction the speaker is talking. The microphone records sound from multiple directions.

Bi-directional microphones

record sound from two sides: the front and the back. This type of microphone is very insensitive to sound from the sides. Ideal for conducting an interview or recording a podcast.

Connections

With the many types of microphones, there are also many types of connections. For this reason, you must ensure that your microphone can be connected to your desired device. For example, you have microphones with a USB-C connection. These are mainly intended for smartphones, but you also have microphones with an XLR connection. These can only be connected to specialist equipment. You also have TRS and TRRS 3.5 mm connections. TRS is mainly intended for smartphones and TRRS can be connected to a camera.

What types of microphones are there?

In addition to types of microphones, there are also different types of microphones. Each of these microphones has a unique situation in which they excel

The directional microphone

A directional microphone is used to focus on a specific sound. Directional microphones pick up the slightest sound and exclude ambient noise. The sound quality is therefore very high. The microphone is ideal for use at a slightly greater distance. Perfect for an interview.

The pin microphone

The clip microphone (also called a lapel microphone or lavalier) is very useful when recording lectures, interviews and documentaries. You can attach the lapel pin under the speaker's clothing, making the microphone invisible or barely visible. Because the microphone is attached so close to the face, it provides a clear and isolated sound.

The wireless microphone

The wireless microphone is ideal if you need a bit more freedom of movement. The wireless system replaces the cable that normally goes from the microphone to your smartphone or camera, for example. Handy when recording a presentation, lecture or interview . A wireless microphone set consists of a receiver and one or more transmitters. It is easy to use. The wireless transmitter and receiver are switched on with one push of a button.

Podcast Microphones

Podcasters looking for clarity and professionalism in their audio will find their perfect match in podcast microphones . These microphones are designed to accurately capture vocals with minimal background noise. Whether you’re performing solo or leading a group discussion, podcast microphones provide the reliability you need to tell your story.

Studio Microphones

For musicians and sound engineers who strive for studio-quality sound recordings, studio microphones are a must-have. With their sensitive and versatile design, these microphones capture the nuances of instruments and vocals, bringing every recording to life. Whether you’re recording an album or creating YouTube tutorials, studio microphones consistently deliver high-quality results.

USB Microphones

Almost all devices are equipped with USB or USB-C connections. This allows you to use a USB microphone with almost all different types of devices. This way you can easily use the same microphone for your smartphone and your computer.

Microphone Accessories

To get the most out of your microphone, microphone accessories such as pop filters, shock mounts, microphone arms and windshields are essential. These additions help to minimize unwanted noise and ensure an optimal recording experience, regardless of the environment.

Which devices are microphones suitable for?

Not every microphone can be used in combination with all devices. This is often due to the different types of connections of a device or microphone.

Microphone for smartphones

From now on, most new smartphones do not have a 3.5 mm jack. This means you need an adapter or a smartphone microphone with USB-C. If you want to use a microphone as an iPhone microphone , you will need a microphone with a lightning connection or a lightning to 3.5 mm jack adapter. Smartphones have a 3.5 mm TRRS connection. So make sure when purchasing a microphone that it has a TRRS connection, otherwise your microphone will not work.

Microphone for cameras

Cameras generally have a 3.5 mm TRS connection. So make sure that the camera microphone actually has a TRS connection. Otherwise the microphone will not work for your camera. Fortunately, you can also get adapters for this, so if you already have a TRRS microphone, you can still use it for your camera.

Microphone for PC and laptops

When you are looking for a microphone for your PC or laptop, you often have more choice, depending on what kind of PC or laptop you have. PCs are often equipped with a USB and 3.5 mm jack connection. As a result, aPC microphone can have different types of connections. With a laptop, it can be a bit more complicated. Large laptops also often have different connections, but a thin, light laptop, such as a MacBook, often only has a USB-C connection. As a result, a laptop microphone can have a USB-C connection, but also a USB connection or 3.5 mm jack.
