Here we'll take a gander at the three kinds of mouthpieces regularly utilized, their qualities and shortcomings, cost, and how to figure out which one(s) to go for.
We'll discuss the sorts, at that point see explicit brands, models, and costs.
Before we start, the most significant thing I can say to you is that your receiver is the most significant piece of your whole sound chain, no special cases. You can have the most fantastic rigging on the planet downstream from the mic, however on the off chance that the mic doesn't cut it, it doesn't generally make a difference about the remainder of that apparatus. Then again, an awesome receiver pursued by normal estimated apparatus will give you a predominant sound item.
What are you hoping to do? Is it accurate to say that you are searching for a mic that is smooth and sweet, or hard-edged and in-your-face? Is it true that you are male or female? On the off chance that you need to do film trailers and shouting vehicle seller advertisements, you need an alternate mic than if you're doing "fellow or young lady nearby" - practical - voice work, or standard declare voice work. Here are the kinds of mics to consider:
Dynamic
Dynamic mouthpieces are what you find in radio stations and are what live vocalists (artists) frequently use. They're rough, sensibly great sounding, and alright for most voices, which means one probably won't sound completely astounding on your specific voice, however it won't sound dreadful, which isn't valid for different sorts, including some over the top expensive mouthpieces. A dynamic additionally isn't so nuanced. The part that gets your voice, the stomach, is associated with a loop of wire; air development from sound makes the curl move between the posts of a magnet. The sound needs to defeat the mass of the curl, and little sounds don't get past.
This doesn't make them awful. Surge Limbaugh's Brilliant EIB amplifier is a dynamic, and, once more, most radio stations use them. They are great broadly useful mics, and many voice over masters use them. They are similarly useful for male and female voices, and you can do most any kind of style with them.
In case you're on a financial limit, a dynamic is the main decision, in light of the fact that the other two cost significantly more. There are modest variants of the other two, and you don't need one!
So if elements are so valuable, why spend more for a condenser or lace?
Condenser
A condenser mouthpiece, of which there are two sorts, transistor and cylinder ("valve" in Europe), doesn't have the moving loop of wire connected to its stomach. It adjusts an electrical flow created by an outside power supply (found in most PC interfaces or with an outer power supply, see your seller for information, or inward batteries). Without the mechanical obstruction of a powerful mic's curl to survive, a condenser is unmistakably progressively delicate to subtlety, and hence sounds considerably more close.
Condensers come in two flavors: transistor and cylinder. A cylinder condenser, which is a costly instrument (there are modest ones and they make great paperweights yet not receivers), is quite often the absolute best approach. Cylinder condensers sound personal and full, and have an incredible in advance sound without being forceful. They are very dependent upon issues from hard discourse parts - 'f', 's', 'p' - and require a pop screen (see your vendor). Cylinder mics likewise produce what's called symphonious mutilation, which we don't intentionally hear yet is answerable for what's classified "tube warmth" (nothing to do with temperature!) and sounds very close.
Condensers come in two different flavors: enormous stomach and little stomach. Huge stomachs are for when you need a major, personal sound. Little stomachs are said to be progressively exact. In any case, the correct one for you is the one that sounds best subsequent to making a few moment chronicles with every (progressively about this later in the article) and checking whether one is more exhausting or in the event that one out and out sounds preferred to you over the other. There are no standards. The two sorts are utilized for voice over.
Many voice over specialists lean toward cylinder condensers over transistorized ones, yet in all cases, what sounds best on your specific voice is the thing that you ought to get. How to pick a mic? We'll get to that in a moment.
Strip
Here's simply the third sort, in a class without anyone else's input: the lace mouthpiece. While elements and condensers 'hear' with stomachs, a lace receiver "hears" with a short, restricted, and dainty bit of creased, aluminum 'foil' suspended between the shafts of a solid magnet.
You've seen the enormous, pickle-molded amplifiers on Letterman's and Larry Ruler's work areas. They are RCA Model 77 strip mouthpieces (utilized as props for this situation), developed in the 1930's. They were found wherever for 50 years. RCA quit making strips in the 1970's, and an ambitious virtuoso named Wes Dooley purchased the majority of RCA's stock strips (the strips themselves) and most likely without any help re-acquainted the lace mouthpiece with the US showcase. His organization is called AEA, and even the AEA logo is so structured as to intently look like RCA's logo. There are presently a few organizations making generally excellent lace receivers.
Lace mics are warm and smooth, jazz folks like to record with them, they're exceptionally decent for women's voices, and for certain male voices they include a pleasant fulfilling profundity. They likewise have a low yield, which implies that you need to wrench up the contribution on your framework to get a better than average level from them. Be that as it may, raising the information raises what's known as the commotion floor, and you can wind up with a chronicle where you can hear murmur out of sight. Wes and other lace mic producers manage this issue well, nonetheless, and a few organizations are making preamplifiers (converse with your seller about this) planned explicitly for strip mics.
Regardless of whether a lace - or any mic, so far as that is concerned - will sound great on your voice can't be known without really giving one a shot. Strips are very delicate to moving air; on the off chance that you blow into one to test to check whether it's on, there's an amazing possibility you'll decimate the lace. At the point when strips were in like manner studio use, they were 'stowed' - a fitted sack was put over them - just to move them here and there in the studio, to maintain a strategic distance from lace harm from the air going crosswise over them as they were moved.
Brands
Elements
There are a million brands, which obviously goes for condensers, however not excessively numerous strip brands.
Not to stress, in light of the fact that there are a few industry norms with which it's difficult to turn out badly. Here are the three most mainstream elements, and they presumably surpass all the rest set up together:
Electro-Voice RE20
Sennheiser 421U (see vendor about the particular one for your motivation)
Shure SM7
-
Shure SM57/SM58 - more affordable and can be utilized in the event that you don't have the cash for the others
These mics, aside from the last two, are in the $350-$700 territory. In spite of the fact that every ha a trademark 'sound,' they are genuinely near one another in that regard. Each is well-made and reliable as time goes on, as in decades.
The Sennheiser, and, I accept, the SM7, have what are called closeness impacts: on the off chance that you get directly over them they emphasize the lows. Numerous commentators in radio stations like to eat them; they need that profound "Voice of God" sound. They're better utilized a good ways off of 6-10". The RE20 is known for its absence of the vicinity impact. I for one like it superior to the others. Electro-Voice has a more up to date form, called the RE27, which clients either truly like or truly can't stand. Further, the RE20 was likewise made under an alternate model name, PL20. The completion shading is somewhat unique, yet it's the equivalent mic. The PL line of mics was made for miking drums and melodic instruments and is no longer underway. I found a PL20 for $150 am as yet bouncing all over, at the normal utilized cost of a PL20 or RE20 is twofold that.
For cost to-quality, none of these mics can be beat.
Condensers
As referenced over, two flavors here: transistorized and tube. Again, a cylinder condenser, similar to any well-planned cylinder gadget, creates suggestions, which our ears see as "warmth." I state well-structured, in light of the fact that as far back as cylinders were "rediscovered" around 25 years prior, a great deal of low-evaluated gear with a cylinder or two in them has hit the market, yet they are not really structured by individuals who expertise to plan a cylinder circuit for best impact. This segment manages condensers all in all.
Presumably the most-perceived condenser mic name on the planet is Neumann (NOI-mahn), and its most famous model is maybe the U-87. It sells new for around $3500, $2000 or so utilized. I've discovered that a Neumann either sounds inconceivable on your voice or it sounds honky. The U-87 is the amplifier National Open Radio uses only.
It is found in pretty much every account studio of any size. It will love your voice or despise it.
There are increasingly costly Neumanns, and a progression of low-valued models, some prefixed with the letters TLM. A decent number of voice over craftsmen use TLMs (< $1000); as I would see it they are not so normal sounding as the U-87 or a decent unique. I had one however sold it following a couple of months. It could sound great to your specific ear, be that as it may. I make this point since voices and tastes contrast, and it is positively obvious that one voice can sound awful on a certain mic and great on the following voice. So how can one pick? We'll get to that momentarily.

To start with, you should utilize a pop screen on a condenser. This gadget prevents those impacts of air from non-vocal discourse segments, most quite "P" sounds, to which condensers are particularly touchy. Put your turn before your mouth and state "P." Feel the air? On the off chance that that impact hits a condenser, allows simply state you would prefer not to wear earphones at the time. Presently, it's a smart thought to talk crosswise over (at 45 degree
