Need help choosing a microphone?
When it comes to microphones, there's a ton of options. To help narrow them down, I'd recommend buying from brands that have the experience. Brands like Shure, AKG, Sennheiser and Audio-Technica are great examples and they've all been manufacturing microphones for 50 years or more.
Here are some of my favourites...
Audio-Technica ATR2100 - A popular entry-level microphone with USB and XLR connectivity.
Shure MV7 - My clients are getting amazing results with this microphone. Its USB and XLR connectivity make it a versatile and easy to use option for anyone new to external microphones.
Shure SM7B - A popular choice amongst professional podcasters, the Shure SM7B will not disappoint. Being XLR only, this will require the additional purchase of an audio interface and possibly an inline microphone preamp to boost its gain before your interface.
