What is the best Microphone for Zoom meetings? Seeking the expert advice of this sub! Budget is <$500, can be wired or wireless. Whatever has the best voice pickup for a meeting is what I’m looking for!

With a $500 budget, you can take one of the two routes. First option is to get a USB microphone. Blue Yeti, Beyerdynamic Fox Mic, Shure MV7. These will sound good and cost you less than or around $250. Jabra speak has good microphone too.

Second option is to buy a USB interface (check focusrite) and a microphone. This tends to get expensive but you can find a nice combo for less than $500.

Personally I’d recommend a Jabra for meetings. 510 for personal use, 710/750 for a smaller group and 810 for a larger group.

Best Mic for Zoom calls - Dilemma
Honestly, you could answer most of your questions with some basic research about the strengths, weaknesses, and techniques for using dynamic and condenser microphones. Also, sound quality is subjective. "Better" or "worse" are personal preference (within reason of course). Anyways, here are the answers you're looking for: 1' away is far for a dynamic mic. You typically want to be at 6" or less. Also, distance does not only affect level; it affects the sound of directional microphones due to proximity effect . This refers to an increase of low frequencies as you get closer to the microphone. Some mics sound very good up-close (think voice of God/radio DJ sound), while others can sound very muddy. Any decent review on a mic you're considering (at least professional/XLR microphones will mention how they found the proximity effect of that mic to be). Also, regarding gain, if you plan to use USB microphones, I'd consider upgrading to a Scarlett 2i2 4th generation, which increases the preamp gain from 58 dB of the Solo (3rd and 4th generation) up to 69 dB. That's massive, and enough for pretty much any dynamic microphone, including the broadcast standard Electro-Voice RE20 and even lower output Shure SM7B. You can control the level of a USB mic within your operating system. Not having a hardware gain control isn't a big deal. Zoom and other VoIP apps are going to use auto leveling by default anyways. The USB mic is certainly easier to setup, not that plugging in a single XLR microphone into an audio interface is particularly difficult. You'll need to make sure you have the drivers installed as well as audio interfaces are almost never plug and play. In your case, it sounds like a USB condenser microphone is a better choice, unless you are in a noisy environment. Long-term, I would suggest investing in a decent arm/stand to allow you to position the mic well, as well as a shock mount if you get a mic that doesn't include one, like the AT2020USB-XP. Audio-Technica makes one for the AT2020 USB models: https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/at8455 . More on reddit.com

People also ask

Where should I place my microphone for a Zoom meeting?

When I’m in conversation with someone it’s usually quite easy to hear them. That’s partly because we normally face each other. But if I turned and spoke off to the side or in the opposite direction the other person might find it hard to hear me.

Ideally, position your microphone in front of you at a distance of 6” - 12”, and speak directly into the front of the mic. This will ensure your voice is picked up clearly and easily heard by other participants on the conference call. But if you need to put the mic to one side of your laptop, make sure the front is pointing at your mouth.

Don't get super close to a condenser microphone or your voice will probably sound very bassy or a bit muddy. This could make your voice difficult to hear properly on a video conference call.

If you are in a huddle room with a central omnidirectional microphone you can improve your audibility by speaking towards the microphone rather than facing the video monitor and camera.

Why can I hear interference coming from my microphone?

The interference is coming from your mobile devices. Even when you’re not using your phone it’s generating electrical signals that can cause interference. You can hear this by placing your handset close to your microphone.

The microphone’s capsule and circuitry may act as a mini receiver and the interference from the phone will become audible on your computer’s speakers or on your headphones. It’ll sound like a buzzing or a kind of very rapid morse code.

To avoid this interference, keep your phone away from the mic and the cable.

June 27, 2024 -

Hello,

I want to do Zoom/Skype calls. If I buy an external microphone like the HyperX Solocast, will there be echoes? Do you know if I need a headset? I used my laptop's internal microphones up to this point, but I want a far better quality. I don't know what to buy or what product class I need.

Thank you.
