How to choose a lavalier microphone

  It is not easy to choose a suitable microphone, especially if you do not know the difference between omnidirectional microphones and supercardioid microphones, that is, the various microphone pickup patterns. In the video below, Stephen Harrod, who has spent years of audio work, will share with you some of his thoughts on what pickup patterns are and how different projects work best for them.

  Microphone pickup mode refers to the microphone relative to the sound from different directions or angles of sensitivity, simply, that is, the microphone "to listen to the same direction of the voice of the ability.
  Omnidirectional microphones have a spherical pickup pattern that, from the point of view of the microphone, picks up the sound evenly from all directions around it, that is it has the same sensitivity at 360 degrees so you will hear the surroundings All sounds.

  What scenario does it work for? An omnidirectional microphone is the best choice if you need to record on a large area or you do not know where the sound will be coming from. Lavalier microphone are usually omnidirectional, so do not put it in the clothes, the closer you get to the main body, the better the sound. In addition there are some condenser microphones are also omnidirectional, for example, if you want to shoot a documentary in the field, do not want to miss any audio, then omni-directional microphone will come in handy.

  Heart-shaped microphone pickup range is broader, but its front-end sensitivity than the back-end sensitivity. This helps to isolate excess ambient noise and eliminates the effects of echoes over omni-directional microphones.
  This type of construction is typically used in condenser microphone and does not need to be too close to the sound source like a lavalier microphone, making it ideal for use in noisy stages or in live news interviews, to help showcase background scenes.


  Supercardioid microphone pickup mode than the heart or omnidirectional microphone narrower, covering the angle of about 105 degrees. This type of microphone is most commonly used for location shooting, especially when talking to two people because the scene clearly shows the source of the audio, simply point your shotgun microphone (a type of supercardioid microphone) The source of the sound direction and recording just fine.
