What Is The Difference Between Dynamic And Condenser Microphones?

Most USB microphones are Condenser microphones, and condenser microphones are incredibly sensitive, they are better in really controlled studio settings with padding and special vents to cut aircon sound. USB Mics also cheap out on a lot of the important parts that convert audio signals to digital signals in order to keep the cost low for you guys meaning they overall will produce worse, not terrible but worse sound.

Sure they can often produce really natural sounds straight out of the box, but it is harder for you to cut out the sound of a keyboard, or a fan without also stripping part of your own voice out and making it sound thin.

Compared to the PodMic which is a dynamic microphone that is great for capturing vocals in noisier environments and producing a good quality live sound.

What is the difference between Cardioid and Omnidirectional Microphones?

The other important thing you’ll want to look at is a microphone Polar Pattern, this is the scope that the microphone picks up sound from.

The AT2020+ and the PodMic are both Cardioid microphones which is often what you’ll want for a streaming microphone, it means it has a nice cone shape where it will pick up audio from, compared to the opposite what you REALLY don’t want an Omnidirectional which will pick up audio from every direction making it hard to cut out keyboards, fans, other people, etc.

The Blue Yeti Snowball microphone can be both Cardioid OR Omnidirectional, for example, so make sure you confirm what polar patterns you are buying or using when researching microphones to buy.
