Condenser microphones use a thin electrically-charged diaphragm — more sensitive, wider frequency response, greater detail, and better at capturing quiet sources. They pick up the room as well as the voice, making acoustic treatment important. Dynamic microphones use electromagnetic induction — less sensitive, more durable, naturally reject room reflections and background noise. For quiet home studios and voice-over work, condenser delivers richer sound. For noisy environments or untreated rooms, dynamic microphones (like the Shure SM7B) produce more broadcast-ready results.

Cardioid pickup pattern — captures sound from directly in front and rejects sides and rear — is the correct choice for solo voice recording, podcasting, streaming, and voice-over work. It minimises keyboard noise, fan sound, and room reflections behind the mic. Bidirectional (figure-8) pattern captures front and back — use for two-person face-to-face interviews with one mic. Omnidirectional captures all directions — only useful in fully treated acoustic environments with a controlled setting.

The optimal distance for condenser studio mics is 15–30cm — this produces a natural voice tone without excessive room reverb pickup. Closer than 10cm produces proximity effect (boosted low frequencies) and captures breath and lip noise more prominently. Beyond 40cm, room ambience and reflections become more noticeable in the recording. Use a pop filter 5–10cm in front of the capsule to eliminate plosive bursts (P, B, T sounds). A boom arm eliminates desk vibration from typing being transmitted into the recording.
