Microphones

Whether you manage a large team, teach classes or record music, there are many reasons why a microphone is what your setup needs. But it can be difficult to choose from the many styles available and to get the most from your new equipment. Read on to learn more about microphones and what makes them great options for many different groups.

What Can a Microphone Be Used For?

Microphones are audio devices that can be used for recording music, streaming audio with friends, projecting your voice for a large audience — and yes, karaoke at the company holiday party.

Not all microphones are the same, so it’s important to educate yourself and purchase one with the right features for you. Wireless options offer freedom and flexibility, while wired models can be plugged into a desktop computer or amplifier for a variety of uses.

Is a Wireless or Wired Microphone Better?

Wireless and wired microphones each have unique benefits which may make one version more appealing than the other. An important factor to consider is the intended use and environment that the device will be used in.

Smaller workspaces, like recording studios, might benefit from the connectivity options of wired microphones and not be deterred by the range of the wire. People who need a microphone to deliver a sweeping speech on stage might go wireless however, if they value the ability to walk wherever they need to engage the crowd.

Another feature to consider is the style of microphone cable required and whether your devices have matching input options. Wireless options transmit data over the air using Bluetooth technology, so it’s important to ensure that your devices are also compatible for pairing using Bluetooth. Determining which type is right for you will ultimately depend on individual preferences, but you can find both wired and wireless microphones at Staples.
