What is a condenser microphone?

　　Microphones are incredibly important when it comes to building a studio. They are the centerpiece of all gear setups. If you’re looking to buy a microphone specifically for recording, we recommend going with a condenser microphone. In our opinion, it may seem like there are a lot of condenser mics out there to choose from, but if you narrow it down through research in terms of the overall reviews, cost-to-quality and personal use we’ve experienced, finding the top 10 wasn’t as difficult as we thought it would be. To choose your mic, it depends on a few factors: your budget, how big of a diaphragm you want and the majority of what you’ll be using it for.


　　What is a condenser microphone?
　　A condenser microphone is a specific type of recording device that’s all about fidelity. They are extremely responsive and clear as to what is in front of them, whether it is vocals, strings, brass, drums and more. They come in quite a few different shapes and sizes as you will see, but most of them have large diaphragms to pick up what you’re throwing at it while isolating the sounds from it’s surroundings — perfect to get that clear recording you need. Technically speaking, the condenser diaphragm vibrates in relation to the sound pressure that is given.


　　The BOYA BY-V01 is a stereo X/Y condenser microphone, this microphone provides greater control of your audio than the internal mics on DSLR camera, video cameras, or digital recorders. A switch for 90° or 120° pickup patterns allows you to adjust the directivity of the microphone. Compact and lightweight, the BY-V01 attaches to your camera's shoe mount and plugs directly into your camera or portable recorder's microphone input for crisp, clear stereo audio capture. The included windscreen cuts down not only on environmental noise, but on the operational noises of the lens and camera, such as autofocus movement.

What does a shotgun microphone do

　　There has always been a saying: shotgun microphone is not suitable for use in indoor recording. So I recently started to study this problem, trying to find the exact answer, to do some testing for this. 　　 Shotgun microphone wind, the purpose of using these devices, mainly to enhance the axial pickup capacity, while reducing the side of the interference noise. In other words, let the microphone play its directivity as much as possible, in order to avoid unwanted noise and ambient sounds. 　　This is another mode, we can see the reaction of ordinary shotgun microphone wind. Uneven sides, and the effect of the posterior leaf under the influence of an intervening tube. 　　In an echoed space there will be diffuse, especially early reflections, the color of the signal part. Ideally, the microphone depends on the angle of the transform, if the sound is a correlated signal or just a noise. When both the signal and the noise are reflected on the nearby surface, it is an "unn...
