What Type of Microphone Is Most Suitable for Capturing a Large Choir?

Every seeker has this question. Xiao De believes that professional condenser microphones can generally meet the requirements for capturing a large choir, and dynamic microphones should definitely be avoided. This is because condenser microphones are omnidirectional and can better capture the voices of all choir members, whereas dynamic microphones are directional and more suited for solo performances. As for brand and model, you should choose according to your budget. Mainstream brands like Shure, Audio-Technica, Takstar, and Blue are all good options. Remember, with musical equipment, you get what you pay for—don't expect to get a $1,500 quality item for just $1,000.

Secondly, the position of the microphone for a large choir is best placed above the choir, meaning you should use hoisting microphones. Hoisting the microphone about two meters above the first row of the choir is most suitable, as it provides more comprehensive sound capture.
