Microphones: Professional Microphones for Live Sound, Performance & Stage Applications
The right microphone makes all the difference between a performance that lands and one that falls flat. Whether you are a vocalist stepping up to the stage, a sound engineer miking a drum kit, or a touring musician who needs gear that holds up night after night, choosing the right microphone comes down to application, polar pattern, frequency response, sound pressure level, and environment. The most important question to ask is how you plan to use it -- will it be on the live stage for vocals, miking an amp, or miking an instrument? You want to match your microphone to the environment, user, polar pattern coverage, frequency response, and sound pressure level. With over 100 years of collective audio design experience, our sales engineers work closely with you to find the right microphone for your needs and budget.
