Microphone Types and Techniques
Different types of microphones have specific attributes that impact the clarity of sound depending on the positioning and movement relative to the microphone. Shotgun mics offer excellent sound quality when directly facing them, but the clarity diminishes when being off-axis. They are ideal for catching voices from a distance but require precision in positioning. Lapel mics are beneficial for individuals who may not be skilled in mic techniques as they can be easily attached to the body, ensuring consistent proximity to the mouth for clear sound.
