Pro Audio Microphones

Newegg stocks a wide range of pro audio microphones for various applications. When looking for a microphone, consider what you want to use it for and where you want to use it. This helps you understand what frequency range your microphone needs to pick up, the volume it needs to be able to handle and how sensitive it needs to be. There is an option for every budget and many microphones are versatile enough for use in more than one setting and for different applications.

Vocal Microphones Offer Clarity for Speaking and Singing

Recording and amplifying vocals requires a frequency response of around 80Hz to 15Khz. Condenser microphones provide optimal sensitivity for professional studio settings, while dynamic microphones often have higher Sound Pressure Level (SPL) ratings, which means they can handle high volumes. Dynamic models tend to be hardier than condenser microphones, making them a good choice for traveling and non-studio use. The polar pattern, as in from which direction the microphones pick up sound, is an important consideration. Undirectional microphones are good choices for vocals because they focus on picking up sound in front of them rather than from the directions that they aren't facing. Some microphones come with pop filters or windscreens that prevent the popping sounds from explosive consonants and wind, which can ruin a recording. For portable and budget-friendly solutions, consider a USB microphone that plugs into computers, tablets and smartphones, and capture vocals and record podcasts easily.

Versatile Microphones for Live Music and More

Dynamic microphones are commonly used in loud environments. Look for an SPL rating of at least 100 dB to ensure that your chosen microphone can handle the volume. Microphones with a lower frequency response range that starts at 30Hz or 40Hz are ideal for bass drums. Microphones with a frequency response starting at 50Hz are suitable for miking up the toms. Options with the same frequency range as vocal microphones and higher capture various instruments like pianos and the violin section. Consider models with a roll-off or attenuation switch to prevent it from picking up low frequency rumbling for a cleaner sound. Shotgun microphones work well for sporting events since they pick up sound from a distance. If you need additional equipment for your performance, some PA speakers come in a set with microphones included. This sets you up for smaller musical performances and presentations. Restricted movement can hamper a performance, and live sound wireless systems support freedom of movement and reduce the number of cables.

Different Styles for Ease of Use

Use your handheld microphone with a stand that keeps your hands free to play an instrument. A desktop microphone stand comes in handy for podcasting and recording speeches and presentations. Check out the range of pro sound options and add speakers and other equipment that maximizes each performance. Clip-on microphones are discrete which is a must for theater performances, and they pick up instrumental sounds. Headsets with microphones provide freedom of movement when dancing or teaching aerobics. Some pro audio microphones come in sets with stands, filters and other accessories included.
