When shooting with our camcorder we must not forget the importance of sound. In general, the microphones integrated in our camera do not usually have a capture of sufficient quality and clarity, that is why we need special microphones for video.
DSLR lenses are very good for making videos, but in sound they are often insufficient. To improve this, there are external microphones and wireless microphones with higher sensitivities and lower noise.
An external microphone captures a crisp, clean and professional sound. In the Duke Photography catalogue you have options such as the SARAMONIC MIXMIC KIT FOR CANON or the BOYA MICROPHONE BY-PVM50, which far surpass the quality of your SLR's built-in microphone. And if you also want to complete your equipment with a great lighting, you can consult our lighting offer and form a perfect team for your recordings.
To find the best microphone, you need to know what you want to use it for and choose between the types that best suit your needs. So, if you are going to record interviews, it is best to opt for a lavalier microphone, to record voiceovers it is recommended to use a USB microphone and if you are going to make recordings with a reflex camera, you can get a shotgun microphone that you can insert in the top of your camera.
For a microphone to be considered of excellent quality it should have a maximum sound pressure of around 150 dB, a self-noise level below 35dBA, a sensitivity value close to 1V/µbar and an impedance greater than 15,000 ohms. If you have any doubts about which microphone to choose, Duke Photography will advise you on what you need.
When we talk about the frequency of a microphone, we mean the range of frequencies it is capable of processing. The wider this range, the better. We can say that a high quality microphone should be able to pick up frequencies between 80 Hz and 15 kHz. If you have doubts about which model to choose to have a wide frequency range, Duke Photography will advise you without obligation.
Microphones for recording you will find in the online shop of Duke Photography, we have the best models of lavalier microphones, USB, camera microphones, and more. You will also find other essential elements for video recording, such as video cameras, LED lighting or stabilizers.
