Best USB Microphone Buying Guide

There may seem like a lot of factors to keep in mind when purchasing a USB microphone for gaming. But, as long as you use the following factors to help guide your decision, you can’t choose a bad product.

Transducer

The transducer is an extremely important part of the USB microphone—and, in fact, any microphone. It converts the sound wave into an electric signal, which is the entire job of the microphone. So, you want to make sure that you purchase a USB microphone with the correct transducer type for your needs.

There are a few different transducer types available for microphones:Dynamic, Condenser, and Ribbon. Dynamic transducers use a diaphragm, voice coil, and magnet to generate an electrical signal. This type of microphone is great for its durability, but it is not as sensitive a transducer as the other two types.

Ribbon microphones use an electrically conducting ribbon that is put between two magnets. The thin ribbon vibrates, which sends the sound wave to the magnets who then turn the wave into an electric signal. Ribbon microphones can only pick up sound in front of and behind themselves, which is not a great choice for USB microphones.

The most common type of transducer in USB microphones for recording is the condenser. It uses a sound-sensitive capacitor created by an electrically-charged diaphragm. The space that is created as the diaphragm moves back and forth is what creates the electrical signal. This type of microphone is extremely sensitive and can record from any direction.

Polar Patterns

Polar patterns refer to the direction that the microphone picks up the sound waves. Some USB microphones may pick up sound in a certain direction, such as in the front or back. However, some pick up sound waves from all direction quite well.

There are two main types of polar patterns for USB microphones:cardioid and omnidirectional. Cardioid microphones pick up sound in a heart-shaped pattern. They capture the sound in front of the them the best but will capture some ambient sound from the sides and rear.

Omnidirectional microphones records in several different directions at once. This type of polar pattern is perfect for recording a lot of ambient sounds or room noise.

You may want to consider a USB microphone for recording that will use multiple polar patterns. Often these types of microphone are more versatile because they give you more recording options. All you have to do is choose what type of polar pattern to use in any recording situation, flip a switch, and you are ready to go.

Frequency Range

When purchasing any type of recording equipment, you want to make sure that it will pick up or play back a full spectrum of sound. Read these articles for more information about how frequency effects amps and portable audio recorders.

The best USB microphones will have a frequency range of around 20-20,000 Hz. This is about the spectrum of human hearing, which means that the USB microphone you purchase will be able to record any sound the human voice can make or hear. If you are a podcaster or acoustic playing, a full spectrum is especially important.

Conclusion

Great USB Microphones are not that hard to find. But, they are essential for any serious recording artist. This handy piece of technology allow anyone to make a studio-quality recording from the comfort of your own home. All you need is the USB microphone and a computer, and you are ready to begin recording. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

If you want one of the best USB Microphones for recording or podcasting around, then just choose one of the ten products from my list. However, I would highly recommend the Audio Technica AT2020USB PLUS Microphone . This product is my first choice because of its amazing sound, sturdy design, and wealth of features. It will do everything you need in a USB microphone, you just have to be willing to pay a little more for it.
