Microphones are often overlooked. Sure, everyone asks content creators what cameras they use, or what editing software they recommend, but does anyone pay that much attention to a mic? I suppose that's the result of a mic's job well done: you don't notice a microphone with perfectly clear sound. You only notice pops, hissing and knocks. But mics should take center stage more often — they deserve it. The Shure MV6, just $149 at Amazon U.S., deserves it.
Microphones can be daunting. Trust me, I know — I’ve been there. I spent three years presenting radio shows and podcasts, so I know my way around the best microphones now (you would hope so!). But I remember that fateful day I recorded my first ever demo and had no idea what I was doing.
