Which microphone to take for karaoke on a PC?

Question

Microphones

Good afternoon! The girl asked to buy her some simple microphone so that she could sing under minus on the computer (up to 1 thousand rubles). By what criteria is it better to choose it? What you should pay attention to? Can you recommend a specific model.

Answer 1

First of all, for karaoke on a PC, you need to choose a sound card with ASIO, otherwise the delay is completely uncomfortable for singing (hundreds of milliseconds).
As a last resort, ASIO4ALL, but here the lower the required delay, the higher the requirements for the PC.
Well, choose a microphone based on the interface - for an integrated sound system or for a professional interface, the possibilities for connecting microphones are different (input impedance, phantom power, preamplifiers).
Up to 1 tr. there will be either the simplest dynamic or electret microphone-clothespin.
If there is no task to start a voice in a PC, then you can consider the option of an inexpensive mixer, and put the microphone there already. Of the pluses - near-zero delay, of the minuses - there may be inconvenience when recording sound.
