Microphones turn sound into data. When you want to record sound for your experiment, please contact the TSG to discuss which microphone(s) is/are best suited for your application. Below is an overview of some of the microphones available within our research labs.

 We categorize microphones by their connection type (wired vs wireless), transducer type, polar pattern, and form factor:
 *'''Dynamic''' - Typically rugged, versatile, don't require additional phantom power, and can handle loud noises.
-*'''Condenser''' - More sensitive than dynamic microphones. Require phantom power (24-48V).

 *'''Shotgun''' - Highly directional, often with an [https://www.dpamicrophones.com/dict/interference-tube/ interference tube] design.
 *'''Lavalier''' - Tiny, typically clipped onto a person's collar or shirt to record speech.
