Microphone Comparison


The quality of your audio is an important consideration for your screencasts. In fact, poor audio can ruin an otherwise great screencast. But which microphone is best?

This tutorial compares 5 different microphones so you can hear the difference between them. Now these preferences may be subjective. The different microphones compared are:
  • The built-in Mac microphone
  • Andrea NC-61 USB headset microphone
  • Audio-Technica lapel microphone
  • Samson CO3U desktop USB microphone
  • Griffin SmartTalk iPhone microphone

These range from free to about $120. Which one do you prefer?
