Basic Microphone Designs Shotgun Microphone Handheld Microphone Lavaliere (Lapel) Microphone

Shotgun Microphone Uni-directional microphone used for on-location production to pick up sounds a moderate distance from the camera.

Handheld Microphone the type held by on-camera talent or used for on-location interviews.

Lavaliere Microphone Small personal microphones usually clipped or pinned to the talent’s clothing.

Lavaliere Microphone Alligator Clip Vampire Clip

Sound Mixing Audio Mixer: Used to adjust sound levels for multiple audio inputs and sent out as one signal.

Sound Mixing VU Meter(s): Measures the level of electrical power going through the audio equipment. Digital Analog

Sound Mixing Field Mixer

Microphone Accessories Windscreens: Used to eliminate unwanted noise such as wind, popping, and breathing.

Microphone Accessories Boom Pole: A telescoping pole used to position the microphone (usually a shotgun mic) near the talent and out of the shot.
