[QUOTE="AlanOstaszewski, post: 750019, member: 64646"] I'm not a sound engineer, but we're not talking about "high gain microphones", which are used in movies to record background sounds, but about microphones that record your voice and should record as little noise as possible. Of course, it is a quality feature for me whether a headset microphone or something else that is supposed to record speech picks up a lot of noise or not. I quickly did a test, a Pronomic USB-M 910, which costs about 80€ and a headset for 25€, which I got as a present. With Audacity I recorded the background noise coming from the built-in electronics in the microphone. An expensive microphone has good electronics and produces less noise. I didn't say anything for 5 seconds and then a sentence for the rest of the recording time. I increased the sound before the sentence, both recordings by the same amount. The headset microphone achieves a higher noise level (3 dB) and the Pronomic microphone "only" 9 dB (9 dB is quieter than 3 dB) at a very high gain. [ATTACH]192827[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
