wireless microphones transmit

Post by zuhilara »

What type of microphone do I need for interviewing people in noisy environments? I have a Samson C01U Condenser microphone hooked up to my PC through GarageBand, but it is picking up the humming of our heating and air unit, and lots of ambient noise. What type of mic do I need to purchase to cut as much of this out at the time of recording? I must have a quick turnaround on these videos, and do not have much time to spend removing the noise with software.

Cardiod or supercardiod pattern, with rear facing the most noisy source.

Dynamics, being less sensitive by nature, often pick up less noise.
