It is important to choose radio studio equipment for sale, including a microphone carefully. Every microphone has a specific role, which helps maximise its full potential. It may sound awkward, but it is pretty much like choosing a bike. If you do not hike the hilly trails of a national park riding a racing bike, why settle for an inappropriate microphone to record your show? It is critical to find the ideal microphone for your radio broadcast.

Determine the use of your microphone. There are microphones that cannot handle radio broadcasts. If you do not intend using them to pick up instruments or even sing, why not go for a model specifically designed for that purpose?

If it is true that you could be fully satisfied with a multi-tasking microphone, you could probably find happiness with a cheaper model. Keep in mind that in general, dynamic microphones reproduce the voices when used for radio. On the other hand, condenser microphones are preferred for softer voices or high fidelity sound environments, such as professional studios.

For some microphones, and this is the case for condenser ones, you will need phantom power to be able to record. This means that you will have to use a mixing console or a pre-amplification box for it to work. Large companies are now selling great products for PC recording with USB connectivity solutions.

For programs that do not require lengthy interventions, but barely a few presentations of songs, it can very well do the trick. With the appropriate accessory, you will plug your microphone into the computer and will not need an audio mixer.

Otherwise, you could use an external connection interface. This solution will allow you to connect your microphone to your case, which itself will be connected to your computer via USB connectivity. he environment in which you will use your microphone is a major factor.

The omnidirectional type microphones are very efficient and capture the ambient sounds. They are very popular in professional studios, which are well soundproofed, but are less effective in the noisiest or not so soundproofed places. Your work desk at home is the perfect example. It is best to turn your attention to unidirectional microphones that capture very little ambient noise and better isolate the direct sound source.

You do not buy a good microphone from any store; you need to focus on the specialist outlets that stock broadcast equipment. In traditional stores, there may be two or three interesting models for podcasters and amateur musicians but not ideal for radio. The models are so few and the employees may be uninformed such that you will not get all the answers to your questions about the dynamics, the sensitivity and other criteria, which are essential to the choice of a microphone.
