Microphone Characteristics
Key Points:
- When selecting the right microphone, it is important to know the different characteristics. Each characteristic of a microphone affects the over all sound and capability of the mic.
- The main microphone characteristics to consider when selecting and placing microphones are:Â
- Directional response or polar pattern
- Frequency and transient response
- The sensitivity, overload, and impedance of the mic
- The self noise rating
- Knowing a microphone's characteristics is like knowing the engine specs of a car. They tell you how the microphone will perform, how much power it can handle, and how far you can push it.
