Condenser Microphone
- A condenser microphone is a type of microphone that uses an electrical current to create vibrations in a thin diaphragm that then creates sound through the vibrations. The diaphragm is suspended in a small amount of pressure-controlled air, which is then moved by the sound waves and causes an electrical current to flow through the microphone. This current is then translated into sound. A condenser microphone is considered to be a high-quality microphone due to its ability to record sound accurately.
Pros
- Omnidirectional Polar Pattern: Since the mic has an omnidirectional polar pattern, you don’t have to worry about aiming it toward your subject. This is great for interviews or documentary shoots where you’re not exactly sure where all of your subjects or interviewees are sitting. - Built-in Capsule Suspension: The built-in capsule suspension protects the diaphragm of the mic from physical shock which is great for field recording since you never know what might happen. - Low Noise and Distortion: The low noise and distortion are great for when you’re trying to record an audio source without any background noise. This is perfect for recording interviews or documentaries when you want to eliminate as much background noise as possible. - Audio Clipping Indicator: When the mic detects audio clipping, a red light on the side of the microphone turns on so you know you need to lower the gain on your audio source. - Condenser Microphone: The condenser microphone is perfect for recording in high-quality audio with a wide frequency range.
Cons
- This mic is not ideal for recording a single person since it picks up audio from all directions. It’s best for interviews or documentary shoots where there are multiple people speaking at once. - If the microphone picks up any wind, the audio could be distorted since the mic has no windscreen. You can avoid this by using the foam windscreen provided with the mic. - Without an audio source connected to the microphone, there will be an audio signal present in the headphones. This is normal since the mic is a condenser microphone that is always on and picks up audio.
Conclusion
The Boya BYM1 Omnidirectional Lavalier Condenser Microphone is a great microphone for field recording or documentary-style shoots. It has a low noise and distortion so you get clear audio. The microphone also has an omnidirectional polar pattern, which allows you to record from all directions without having to worry about aiming the mic toward your subject.
