Match Your Mic to the Work You Do

Remember to choose your microphone by use case, not by buzz. Here are smart paths that keep budgets sane and results pro.

  • Singer-songwriter: dynamic vocal mic plus one large-diaphragm condenser (LDC) for vocals and guitar
  • Podcaster or streamer: broadcast dynamic, sturdy stand, pop filter, USB backup
  • Live band: handheld dynamics for vocals, compact drum mic pack, spare XLRs
  • Content creator: shotgun on boom, lavalier for interviews, small on-camera mic
  • Producer or engineer: matched small-diaphragm condenser (SDC) pair for overheads, ribbon for cabs, workhorse LDC
  • Remote rigs: USB or battery-friendly mics that set up fast and travel light

Build with intent, then upgrade the weakest link. Your studio microphones and stage mics will cover more ground with fewer compromises. 

The Microphone Lineup: Live Mics, Studio Mics, Drum Packs, and More

American Musical Supply carries every kind of microphone, from road-tough dynamics, wireless systems, and drum packs to studio microphones for vocals, instruments, and broadcast. Shop trusted names like Shure, Sennheiser, Audio-Technica, Rode, and Neumann, with mics in stock for any rig.

Dynamic Vocal Mics

Rugged, focused, and built for loud stages. Dynamics tame feedback and handling noise, so singers can work the crowd without wrecking the mix.

Studio Condenser Microphones

Air, detail, and nuance for controlled rooms. Large-diaphragm models flatter vocals, small-diaphragm models excel on strings, piano, and overheads where transient detail matters.

Ribbon Mics

Smooth top and rich mids with a natural room feel. Ribbons flatter guitar cabs and horns and calm harsh cymbals in vintage-leaning productions.

USB and Podcast Mics

Plug in, sound pro, keep setup simple. Ideal for creators and remote sessions, with broadcast-style options for spoken word and streaming.

Wireless Handheld, Headset, and Lavalier

Cut the cable, keep the clarity. Wireless frees movement for singers and presenters, while headsets and lavs stay consistent when both hands are busy.

Drum Mics and Kits

Kick, snare, toms, and overheads need the right tools. High SPL handling and tight pickup patterns keep the kit punchy without extra bleed.

Shotgun and Camera Mics

Directional capture for video and field work. Tight patterns isolate your subject and reduce ambient clutter on busy shoots.

Microphone Accessories and Stands

Pop filters, shockmounts, windscreens, and sturdy stands put studio microphones exactly where you want them. Small parts, big results.

The Shure SM7dB Microphone Is Ready to BOOST Your Recording Power

The Shure SM7dB takes the legendary SM7 lineage and adds built-in gain, making it easier than ever to plug in and sound huge. Our video walks you through its features and shows why it’s quickly becoming a favorite for vocals, podcasts, and studio work. Don’t miss it.

Mic Technique and Signal Chain Basics That Make Recordings Easier

The best mic in the world won't fix bad placement or sloppy gain. Lock down a few habits, and your tracks will get cleaner, louder, and easier to mix. These tips work for live shows and home studios alike, whether you use dynamic mics or studio mics.

  • Choose polar patterns that control bleed and room tone
  • Angle the capsule and set distance to balance body and bite
  • Use pop filters or windscreens to tame plosives and wind
  • Set preamp gain with headroom to avoid clipping
  • Add a high-pass filter to roll off rumble when appropriate
  • Monitor with reliable headphones so you catch issues early

Figure out the basics first, then worry about flavor. Good technique turns solid microphones into great recordings.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microphones

With so many mics out there, it’s easy to get lost. Here are the questions AMS customers ask most about microphones.

Are studio microphones only for professional studios?

Not at all. Affordable studio mics give home producers the same core quality as commercial rooms. AMS has options for every budget and setup.

Which microphones are best for live vocals?

Dynamic handhelds are the most common for the stage because they resist feedback and handle rough use. AMS stocks staples like the Shure SM58, plus pro touring options.

Do I need different mics for instruments and vocals?

Often yes. Condensers are great for acoustic instruments and studio vocals, while dynamics excel on amps and drums. AMS offers bundles to cover both.
