Recording audio when far away from a microphone

Question

How do YouTubers record audio when far away from a microphone? Is it that the microphones have a long range or what?

In: Technology

Answer 1

The trick is using the right kind of microphone for the job.

There are three common types of microphones. Dynamic, condenser and ribbon. Dynamic microphones are great for capturing loud and close sounds while the other types pick up sounds from a farther distance, so they are most likely the ones being used by the youtubers.

So yeah you could say that the microphones they use have a long range.
