    Summary

    ### Summary

    USB mics and XLR mics are the two main types of microphones for podcasting, streaming, or basic recording. The key differences lie in their components and advantages/disadvantages. USB mics have their preamp and A/D converter inside, making them cheaper, easier to use, and portable. XLR mics require external preamps and A/D converters, usually connected to an audio interface before recording on a computer. Choose a USB mic for price, ease of use, and portability, or go with an XLR mic for better audio quality and the option to invest in additional equipment.

    Highlights

    • Transducer: Converts sound waves to electrical signals
    • Preamp: Amplifies the signal
    • Analog-to-Digital Converter: Converts analog electrical signals to digital ones

    Key Takeaways

    • USB mics are cheaper, easier to use, and portable. Ideal for beginners or those with limited budgets or space.
    • XLR mics offer better quality preamps and A/D converters, making them more suitable for professionals or those seeking higher audio quality.
