DYNAMIC

The key feature of a dynamic microphone is its ability to handle high sound levels and withstand serious abuse, making it the perfect choice for live performances. Are you looking to capture on-stage vocals, amplify a guitar amp, have that harmonica heard, or feel the thump-thump of the bass drum? A dynamic microphone is the choice!

Choosing a Microphone ►
CONDENSER

If the sounds you are trying to capture or amplify are more delicate or are higher in frequency, check out our collection of condenser mics. The condenser mic is designed for sounds with a high transient and wider frequency response, making it incredibly sensitive and ideal for picking up all the little nuances in your acoustic instrument or vocals. While condenser mics can be used on stage or off, you'll mostly find them in the studio where their ability to capture the most subtle sounds is put to full use.

 
SPECIALTY

Are your hands too busy to hold a mic? Try our selection of gooseneck, headset or lavalier microphones. Want to record on your computer or laptop with studio-quality sound with a minimum of gear? Check out the newest innovation - the USB microphone! It plugs directly into any USB port and offers far superior sound quality than a built-in sound card.

 
PACKAGES

Get an entire mic setup in one fell swoop with our microphone packs! There are sets of drum microphones, studio microphones, recording kits, and many other types of packages to suit a variety of needs.

 
ACCESSORIES

Find a stand, mount, or clip to keep your microphone in place, get a filter to cut down on the sounds you DON'T want amplified, or just browse around and find a variety of extras that'll make it easier to get your next performance up and running.
