Microphone: connects to your device via wired or wireless methods. Choose from Lavelier, Shotgun, Handheld, desktop, device mounted, boundary, large diaphragm and more.

Headphone: over-ears and closed-back design to block unwanted outside noise. Use on field recording and in studio monitoring (where isolating decibels and frequencies are important.)

Digital Audio Workstation: application that lets you record, mix, and master your audio productions.

Hardware Audio Interface: connects one or more professional microphones, musical instruments, or other gears to your main dashboard.

Acoustic Treatment: reduces unwanted acoustic reflections. Use on locations where you can’t permanently mount hardware setups.

Pop Filter: small screen the diffuses “P” sounds pop and “S” sounds hiss. Mics often pick up too much of the plosive and sibilant sounds that the labium oris produces.

Most of built-in microphones in DSLRs and Mobiles are low quality, picking up ambient noise that’s difficult to post-process and edit out in post-production. When a quiet and isolated space is unavailable, a directional microphone helps reduce any unwanted noise.
