The opportunities for daily use of microphones have increased. Just like you want to hear good sound and record good sound, but when it comes to using microphones, there are various types of microphones that can be overwhelming. People use it differently, whether it's for speaking, singing, or playing musical instruments.

Dynamic microphone, convenient for use at home
When recording vocals or instrument performances in narrow spaces such as at home, considering the surrounding environmental sound and spatial reverberation, which microphone is recommended to use? This depends on the size of the room, but for example, if you are considering a room with 6 tatami mats and the room is soundproof, a condenser microphone is sufficient. However, for a regular 6 tatami room, we recommend using dynamic microphones. Capacitive microphones are very sensitive. There are various environmental sounds, such as the sound of air conditioning. There is also the sound of someone touching the computer. If you don't have to worry about such sounds when recording, a dynamic microphone is the best choice. Additionally, when recording a speech, if you are excited and make sounds like "wow" or "kya", a condenser microphone can distort the sound. It's not that the microphone is distorted, but rather that the mixer or audio interface controlling it is prone to distortion. High sensitivity=it is difficult to increase the input, and even if it is increased, there are still inputs that cannot be fully improved, resulting in distortion.

What should be noted when setting up a dynamic microphone?
It depends on where you want to record, but basically I will choose a location and record there. I will maintain this posture without moving. With dynamic microphones, you can record without worrying about distance from the microphone.

Using capacitive microphones can be a bit challenging, including in recording environments.
If you are starting from scratch, we recommend starting with dynamic microphones and gradually getting used to them. If you want to record a wider range of sounds or include various sounds, we recommend using capacitive microphones. However, condenser microphones are very sensitive and can pick up sound from adjacent rooms, so you must change the environment.

Capacitive microphones are also very expensive.
But there is no reason to believe that more expensive and high-end microphones are better. This depends on the actual situation. During sports broadcasting, the sound of a football being kicked or a baseball bat being struck can be clearly recorded. That is a condenser microphone, which was recorded using a very long directional microphone. That's why some condenser microphones can record a wide range of sound, while others record it in a precise manner. I choose different microphones according to the situation. In short, microphones will not be of great use unless their purpose and content match. That's why choosing becomes difficult.
