 Best Microphones for YouTuber

 

 

Content creation has grown tremendously in recent years, and so is the demand for recording equipment.

A must-have piece of technology that will help you create top-tier content for your YouTube channel is a microphone.

The best microphones help you produce high-quality audio by filtering background noise, plosives, and wind.

Here are the best microphones for YouTube available today.

    

                                                                                                     

The Shure SM7B is designed with vocal performance and recording speech in mind, making it a great pick for anyone who wants to record YouTube-worthy content. The cardioid polar pattern picks sounds coming in front of the mic while rejecting those on the back. It also minimizes signal distortion from noisy outputs, so the recorded audio requires minimal post-production.

Uploading your videos with annoying fricatives and plosives is a thing of the past as the mic comes with a pre-installed pop filter. There’s also an A7WS detachable windscreen that reduces breath and wind noises, helping you achieve clear and near-professional recordings. At the back are two dip switches that enable you to switch the frequency response depending on your recording situation.

The rugged capsule cage and thick housing make the microphone highly durable. It can endure short distance drops without compromising on functionality and sound performance. The microphone interfaces with your audio device using an industry standard XLR cable.
