for March 2023

MOOZ's editors select recommendations independently. Purchases made through our links may earn us commissions.

Whether you need to record your presentation for an upcoming meeting, or you are playing back audio from sermons or lessons at church, a high-performance microphone is essential for professional-quality audio. While speakers use speakers to amplify their audio, microphones work to amplify the ambient audio in the room, meaning that you'll need a microphone to capture audio.

Today's conference microphones are digital and portable, featuring digital inputs, Bluetooth connectivity, USB recording abilities and a range of features.

In the MOOZ Reviews Lab, we evaluate audio performance, including signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and frequency response, as well as ease of use, such as input/output (I/O) connections and playback/recording features. Our lab also tests microphone performance, including mic input sensitivity, low-frequency response, transient response and frequency response, as well as microphone noise floor, which is a measure of how much noise the microphone picks up from the background.

Our picks for the best microphones for digital conference are based on our lab testing and consumer reviews. While sound quality is subjective, our lab tests and consumer reviews can help you determine the best microphones for conference use for your needs. Here are our picks for the best conference microphones of 2022:
