Let's Record Your Thoughts
A good quality microphone is the most essential equipment needed for ensuring the success of a voiceover project. Hence, experienced voiceover artists make sure that the best quality microphones are used in their voiceover projects. Microphones of different reputed brands and models are available in the market, which should be chosen according to the nature of the requirements of voiceover artists.
Types of microphones
Two varieties of microphones are presently used for voiceover jobs, namely Dynamic microphone, and Condenser microphone.
Usually, a condenser microphone is widely used in all the recording studios, as it can catch a higher frequency range and produces better transitory responses, according to the speed of the musical instruments played there. There are two types of condenser microphones, namely large-diaphragm microphone and small-diaphragm microphone. 48-volt power supplied from an external source is needed to operate this microphone.
A dynamic microphone is mostly used for home-recording and it is lesser expensive than a condenser microphone. It is very sturdy and more durable than the condenser microphone, mainly in the matter of humidity resistance. Some brands of dynamic microphones are well-known for their sound qualities and the ability to withstand rough handling. However, a dynamic microphone shows a limited response to sound frequency and can isolate voices from high-pitched sounds of drums and guitars. This microphone does not need an external power supply.
