Microphones questions

• Which Rode microphone accessories do I need for recording in windy conditions?

  For windy recording conditions, look for a wind cover that fits your microphone. The Rode Dead Mouse Pin High Wind Cover is an option to investigate, but check compatibility before buying.

• Which Sennheiser microphone should I buy for live vocals?

  The Sennheiser e945 and e935 dynamic vocal microphones are the straightforward wired options here. If you need freedom to move without a microphone cable, consider the XSW 2-865 wireless handheld system, checking its E Band compatibility with local frequency rules first.

• Zoom iQ7 vs sE Electronics V7: which should I buy?

  Choose the Zoom iQ7 if you want a stereo microphone for iOS; choose the sE Electronics V7 if you need a dynamic microphone rather than an iOS-focused option. Your recording setup matters more than the £21 price difference.
