Product Information

The RE50B by Electro-Voice is one of the best interview handheld microphones that is more commonly utilized in broadcast television. Its reputation speaks for itself as this mic has previously been used in interviews with some of the most prominent figures in the country from the beloved POTUS to hundreds of celebrities. Due to its rather bulk nature, this mic has been tailored to withstand intense weather conditions include high levels of humidity, corrosive atmospheric salt, and extreme temperatures. Shooting a documentary or corporate video? These shotguns and lavs are some of the best microphones for capturing sit-down interviews.

Also to keep in mind, what exactly will you be recording on? Are you using a camera and need to hook up your microphone to it? Then look into compatible mics. Do you need a smartphone microphone if you’re using your smart device to capture the video? Or separately and will be syncing up later? Types of Interview MicrophonesHandheld reporter style mics: These are your traditional-looking microphones that you hold to capture the interview. This is pretty straight forward.

The Countryman B6 lav mic is tiny. Very tiny. Like the B3, it’s practically invisible on camera, measuring only 0.1 inches in diameter. It’s also resistant to moisture, so it can easily be hidden in hair or taped to bare skin. Another great shotgun mic from Sennheiser is the MKE 600. This has a traditional shotgun mic body — a single tube that can be mounted to mic stands, boom poles, or attached to cameras. The mic can run with phantom power via XLR cable or with a single AA battery. The RODELink Newsshooter Kit is a new generation, high-end wireless microphone kit that is designed for use in a wide array of scenarios. It utilizes a Series II 2.4 GHz digital system that includes a 128-bit encryption with the ability to keep tabs of incoming frequencies and toggle form one frequency to the other in pursuit of its optimal performance. When it comes to compact shotgun options, the Sennheiser MKE 400 is arguably one of the best microphones for interviews available in the current market. It is meant for use with cameras that include an external microphone input as well as a reliable shoe mount for added usability. Physically, this microphone is tiny but quite durable as its housing is made purely from metal. The NTG-2 is Rode’s most popular shotgun microphone. The traditional body can be mounted to mic stands, boom poles, or attached to cameras. Like the MKE 600, this shotgun mic can run with phantom power via XLR cable or with a single AA battery.The Countryman B3 lavalier mic comes in a variety of colors – designed to be hidden from cameras and audiences. It’s practically invisible on camera, measuring only 0.2 inches in diameter. It’s resistant to moisture, so it can easily be hidden in hair or taped to bare skin. From live broadcasts to film sets and television, the Rode Smartlav+ can be used in almost all interview scenarios. More specifically, this new-age lavalier microphone is best suited for interviews that require the broadcast audio to be recorded in a portable and discreet format without the need for extra wireless apparatus. Its ease of use and portability is one of the primary attributes that make this one of the best microphones for interviews in our opinion. Users are required to simply mount the mic onto a talent and connect it directly to a smart gadget, be it a mobile phone, tablet, or even laptop. However, it is more compatible with iOS gadgets as one can use the Rode Recording application for instant live recording, but any app will do as it hooks up directly into your device.
