Which Microphone should you use?
Two main types of Microphone are dynamic and condenser.
Dynamics will focus on a sound source but are limited in frequency range.
While condensers mics are more sensitive and have a broader frequency response.

Ever wondered why studios prefer condenser microphones? 🎙️
In this reel I explain:
• What a condenser microphone is
• Why it needs phantom power
• Large diaphragm vs small diaphragm condenser mics
• Best use cases for vocals, instruments and studio recording
If you’re building a home studio, this will help you choose the right mic.
Save this reel if you’re learning music production, podcasting, or audio recording.

How a microphone listens is just as important as what it hears. The polar pattern doesn’t just control direction, it shapes how much room, space and low end become part of the recording.
With MERCURY, you’re not locked into fixed positions. The pattern is fully sweepable, so you can gradually adjust the response to suit the room and the source in front of you. Sometimes cardioid feels too tight, omni too open, and the sweet spot sits somewhere in between.
Being able to dial that in by ear changes the way you work. It becomes less about choosing a preset and more about shaping the balance until it feels right.
Do you tend to stick to one pattern, or adjust depending on the space?
