Review on ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Enhanced Audio-Technica PRO 8HEx Hypercardioid Dynamic Headworn Microphone with XLR Connector by Alisa Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for speech recognition, most speech applications, but requires caution when connecting to device

This microphone works very well with Dragon's speech recognition software. A tricky part is the dynamic microphone. Dynamic microphones require no offset, contain no amplifier, and produce low-amplitude signals. Most consumer electronics products have a microphone input, which is an electrical condenser microphone that contains a tiny preamp built into the microphone capsule that produces signals 10 to 50 times the amplitude of this product. So if you just buy this mic and plug it into any device without paying attention, you may be disappointed. But if your equipment is designed to work with a dynamic microphone, you will be very satisfied. In terms of sound quality, compared to the dynamic mic class, the voice lacks the warmth of a vocal mic, which uses a large diaphragm and isn't as sharply directed. You can use the equalizer to adjust the sound quality to your liking; This mic's flat output is thinner than you'd expect from a great vocal mic. One reason to use a dynamic microphone is for speech recognition, podcasting, voice-over, and other voice communication applications, although most electronic devices require an electrical condenser microphone. , Much better ambient noise cancellation. This hypercardioid microphone in particular is sharp in its sensitivity. I am very happy with this aspect of this microphone for my application.
