Top 3 Best Budget Studio Microphones | How to Shop for a Microphone | What mic specifications are

Today we discuss the top 3 three best budget studio microphones. When shopping for any microphone it is crucial that you understand these specifications. Signal to noise ratio, self noise, frequency response and sensitivity. With each specification there is a detailed sub topic attached. I make an attempt to shed light on the importance of understanding each and how it will allow you to make more informed decisions come purchasing time.

Definitions

Sensitivity is a negative number -17 (higher requires less preamp power ) -29 (lower requires more preamp power) the closer you are to 0db the better

Self Noise - is a positive number Lower is better ie. 7db self noise better that 17db

Frequency response - 20 to 20K is standard. Within in that spec you must look at the curve

Signal to Noise ratio - 77db is standard Higher is better
