Is higher or lower dB sensitivity better microphone?
Low sensitivity mics are generally better for recording isolated, loud sounds. High sensitivity mics are generally better for recording ambient, quiet sounds.
Which microphone has the highest sensitivity?
Most condenser mics are indeed more sensitive. A Neumann KMS 105 condenser with a sensitivity spec of 4.5 millivolts at 1 Pascal (4.5 mV/Pa) is 15 dB more sensitive than an Audix OM7 dynamic with 0.8 mv/Pa.
What is a good dB for microphone?
You should record vocals at an average of -18dB for 24-bit resolution. The loudest parts of the recording should peak at -10dB and be lowest at -24dB. This is to keep an even balance on the level of the vocals without distortion. Why is decibel range so important when it comes to recording vocals?
