  2. Microphones How Well They Can Hear Omnidirectional vs. Unidirectional Omni - hear equally well in all directions

  3. Microphones How Well They Can Hear Omnidirectional vs. Unidirectional Uni - hear especially well in one direction

  4. Microphones How Well They Can Hear Unidirectional Also called Cardioid(heart-shaped pattern) Hypercardioid / Ultracardioid/ Supercardioid “Shotgun mics”

  8. Microphones Examples Omnidirectional Beyerdynamic M58 Frequency Response 4Hz to 20kHz $176

  9. Microphones Examples Unidirectional Sennheiser MD46 Frequency Response 40Hz – 18kHz $175

  10. Microphones Examples Unidirectional - SuperCardioid Azden SGM-1X Frequency Response 80Hz – 18kHz $150

  11. Microphones How They Are Made The sound-generating element 1) Dynamic (2) Condenser (3) Ribbon Important to know which mic best suits your production needs.

  12. Electro Voice 635A - $110 Microphones How They Are Made Dynamic Microphones • Most rugged • Weather resilient • Built-in pop filter

  13. Audio-Technica AT813A Microphones How They Are Made Condenser Microphones - Better quality sound reproduction - Primarily indoor mics, used often in music - Need their own power supply (battery / phantom) - Use windscreens outdoors

  14. Beyerdynamic M160 $425 Microphones How They Are Made Ribbon Microphones - Highly sensitive / High quality - Produce warm rich sound (Good for singing)

  15. Microphones How They Are Used Lavaliere Microphones (Lav mic) Small, rugged, omnidirectional Advantages No hands Less gain adjustment No lighting concerns Disadvantages Noisy environments One mic for each talent Rubbing on cloth

  16. Microphones How They Are Used Lavaliere Microphones (Lav mic) Small, rugged, omnidirectional Points to consider - Make sure talent has the microphone on! - Careful placement to avoid unnecessary noise - Do not abuse the mic (dropping, etc.) - Use windscreen outdoors - Make sure talent takes off the mic before leaving the set

  17. Microphones How They Are Used Hand Microphones Unidirectional Advantages Need one mic Talent can move mic closer in noisy situations Singers adjust according to song treatment Good for quick interviews

  18. Microphones How They Are Used Hand Microphones Unidirectional Tips for Talent Check mic cable radius Hold at chest level (unless it’s noisy) Keep built in camera mic on other channel

  19. Microphones How They Are Used Boom Microphones Hypercardioid/Supercardioid“Shotguns” Held from booms, or fishpoles User Tips Check cable reach Anchor long poles on belt for raising and lowering ease Always wear a headset and listen for ambient noise You can hold the shotgun whenever feasible to allow for easier use

  20. Microphones How They Are Used Desk & Stand Microphones Hand mics mounted on a stand

  21. Sennheiser HMD 25-1 Microphones How They Are Used Headset Microphones Sportscasters and announcers

  22. Crown Type PZM-30D Microphones How They Are Used Pressure Zone Microphones Sportscasters and announcers

  23. Sennheiser Evolution 500 Series Microphones How They Are Used Wireless Microphones

  24. Microphones How They Are Used Parabolic Microphones
