Find the perfect microphone at Overlockers UK. We have a variety of styles, sizes, connectivity options, and price points available. Whether you’re a streamer, gamer, or working from home, we have a microphone to suit your needs. A microphone converts your voice, or any sounds you want to transmit, into electrical signals. These can then be utilised in a variety of applications, from creating voice overs for videos, to chatting long distance with friends and family, or providing writing assistance for those with disabilities.
The first and most important consideration, is what you want to use your microphone for? Do you just want one to talk with family who live a long distance away over Skype? Are you a streamer who needs crystal clear audio for your audience? Maybe you want to produce high quality voice overs for professional videos? Microphones are crafted for specific purposes, so you'll need to find one to suit your needs.
Additionally, you should assess how you are going to connect your mic to your PC. There are three main methods of connectivity; analogue, digital, and wireless. Analogue utilises a 3.5mm jack, which can be found on a wide selection of products including your gaming PC, tablets, consoles, and phones. Digital interfacing is made through a USB port, and almost entirely eliminates electrical interference along the line. Finally, connecting wirelessly utilises Bluetooth or 2.4GHz radio technology, which removes the need to be tethered to your desk, great for recording on the go.
Once you've answered these questions, then you can explore the wide range of aesthetics that are available. With so many options to choose from, you’re sure to find one that matches your unique style. There are a wide variety of designs and colours available. You can even find models with RGB lighting incorporated, perfect for adding that extra splash of colour to a video or stream.
Are you looking to improve your audio quality, but aren’t sure how? We’re here to help, with our How to Achieve Studio-Quality Audio guide, which features informative videos and fantastic hardware recommendations.

How you connect a microphone to your gaming PC depends on the interface it uses. If you have a mic with a 3.5mm jack, simply plug this into the corresponding port. They are generally labelled as such with a picture of a mic, some text, or the port is coloured pink. If you have a USB mic, plug it into a spare USB port. Finally for a wireless microphone, plug the dongle that comes with your mic into a USB or pair via Bluetooth.
A condenser microphone is an excellent choice for professional work such as streaming. They provide an excellent sampling rate, a wide frequency range, and have phenomenal sensitivity.
There are several reasons why you may not be heard. Firstly, check whether your microphone is fully plugged into your PC, and that it is connected to the correct port. Secondly, you may have been muted, this can be a physical or software issue. Ensure that any mute buttons on your mic aren’t activated. Then check in your software that any mute or deafen options haven’t somehow turned on. Finally, the software you’re using may be set to record off another device. Go into its sound settings and ensure that your mic is the one selected.
