The most expensive microphones have either been previously used by a prominent celebrity, or are at the bleeding edge of technical advancement. Neumann Solution-D microphones are a good example of this; they have such high quality sound that their prices often run into thousands of dollars, even above $13,000.

How do i use a microphone?
First it is very important to chose the right microphone. There are condenser microphones, ribbon microphones, dynamic microphones, and there are electret microphones. There are some different characteristics: omni directional, wide cardioid, cardioid, super cardioid, hyper cardoid and figure-of-eight. There are microphones with small diaphragm diameters and with large diaphragm diameters. There are expensive high quality studio microphones and less ideal very cheap Chinese mics. When you have found the right microphone, then you can start to ask where to put this microphone to which musical instrument or voice.
How many different polar patterns are there for a microphone?
Microphones typically feature several polar patterns, with the most common being cardioid, omnidirectional, and bidirectional (or figure-eight). Additionally, some microphones offer variable patterns, allowing them to switch between multiple options, such as supercardioid and hypercardioid. Overall, there are several distinct polar patterns, each suited for different recording environments and applications.
What kind of electronic device is needed to record live organ or piano music?
A microphone and a recordingdevice such as a minidisk player/recorder could be used. There are of course a multitude of choises depending on what professional level you want on the recording.

You can connect most standard microphones through the microphone socket or?
You can connect most standard microphones through the microphone socket or via USB, depending on the type of microphone. XLR microphones require an audio interface or mixer for connection, while USB microphones plug directly into a computer. Additionally, some microphones may connect wirelessly via Bluetooth or specialized transmitters. Each connection type has its own advantages, such as ease of use or sound quality.
Do microphones have magnets?
Some types of microphones, like dynamic microphones, contain magnets. The magnets are typically used in the mechanism that converts sound waves into electrical signals. Other microphones, such as condenser microphones, do not use magnets in their design.
What is the difference between a wireless microphone and a wired microphone?
A wireless microphone uses radio signals to transmit the sound from the microphone to the amplifier or recording machine. A wired microphone has a wire or cable attached to it, connecting the microphone to the amplifier or recording machine. Both types of microphones will doubtless have some wires in them. However, with modern technology advancing at such a pace, we should not be surprised if, one day, microphones will not have any wires in them at all, the old technology being replaced by some more effective means of capturiing sound and sending it somewhere else.
