Starter Microphone – the most important at a glance

When it comes to a first microphone, it’s important to determine what you need it for. If you plan on recording music, then you’ll need a microphone that can handle reproduce sound frequencies accurately. If you’ll be using your microphone for live speeches or presentations, then you’ll need a microphone that can pick up your voice clearly without feedback. Here are a few of the best starter microphones to consider for either music or speech.

The Shure SM58 is a popular choice for music recording thanks to its ability to reproduce sound frequencies accurately. It’s also a great choice for live speeches as it can pick up your voice clearly without feedback. The downside of the Shure SM58 is that it’s a bit more expensive than other starter microphones.

The AudioTechnica AT2020 is another great option for music recording. It’s able to reproduce sound frequencies accurately and has a lower price tag than the Shure SM58. However, theAudioTechnica AT2020 isn’t as good for live speeches as it can pick up background noise more easily.

The Blue Yeti is one of the most popular starter microphones on the market. It’s great for both music recording and live speeches thanks to its three different pattern settings ( omnidirectional, bidirectional, and cardioid). The omnidirectional setting is great for recording music as it picks up sound from all directions. The bidirectional setting is great for live speeches as it picks up your voice clearly while cancelling out background noise. And the cardioid setting is great for recording music or live speeches when you’re in a noisy environment as it only picks up sound from one direction.
