Selecting a Microphone for Streaming
A USB mic includes conversion for direct computer use, while XLR allows separate interfaces and upgrades. XLR condensers may require phantom power from compatible hardware.
Dynamic models often suit close speech in untreated rooms, whereas condensers can capture more detail and more room sound. Neither type removes background noise automatically.
Cardioid favours the front, but side-address and end-address mics must be aimed differently. Multi-pattern controls are useful only when the extra pickup modes match the content.
A built-in headphone jack can provide the live mic without a software round trip. Monitor-mix control is useful when game or call audio must be blended.
A boom arm improves distance and desk space when its thread and load rating match. Shock mounts can reduce structure-borne noise but do not treat room echo.
