How important are microphones? Well, if you don’t choose the right microphone and use it correctly, your mixing efforts are going to be like polishing a turd.

The output is a reflection of your inputs. Since most inputs start at a microphone, it’s crucial to understand different types, pickup patterns, and how to place them.

As part of the Shure Microphones team, Doug Gould has taught at hundreds of conferences. He joins us in this episode to reveal everything we need to know about microphones.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Dynamic and condenser microphones
  • How to place a microphone correctly
  • Cardioid, supercardioid and hypercardioid
  • When to use phantom power and polarity
