To ensure crisp and clear audio, you’ll need various microphones to cover different scenarios:

Boom Microphone

Condenser Microphone

A sensitive, high-quality microphone perfect for capturing vocals, music, and podcasting. Heavily used in podcasting as well as the music industry, these types of microphones can start with US $100 and can go as high as 1000s of dollars.
