. Choosing the Best Microphone Choosing a microphone based on frequency sensitivity Another consideration to look out for when choosing a microphone is their sensitivity to specific frequencies. If you experiment with using different microphones you’ll notice that some are more sensitive to low frequencies and bass sounds while others are more sensitive to high frequencies and treble sounds. Before you buy a microphone you will want to look at its frequency response graph. Ideally the sound frequency response graph would be level all the way across showing that it responds to all sound levels equally. However, most have some bend in them and many filmmakers prefer microphones with specific graph trends. For example, they may want a microphone which favors the midranges to help enhance dialogue and give the audience the feeling of being there. Alternatively if you’re going to be recording narration and you’re going for the sound of a male’s deep voice then you’ll want a microphone that will be able to handle those lower frequencies to help recreate the actual sound of his voice.   Continue Below...
