Anyone who has ever recorded a song or podcast, wondered what components to work to choose? These devices will create a perfect studio for a small amount.
Floor microphone stand (1 600 to 2500 rubles)
Without stand voice recording, vocal or instrument is possible... But it is very inconvenient. Chase the expensive models, suggesting only home use, it is not necessary. Come down any Chinese "Crane" from the Force, Proel, Gator, suitable for the budget. Desktop model is cheaper, but too severely limit the possibilities.
SennheiserHD202 (from 1 600 to 2 500 rubles)
Despite the low price, this is one of the best monitor headphones in the budget segment. Small flaws like not the best materials and non-removable wire perfectly offset by the price, easy disassembly and excellent sound, suitable both for recording and for listening to music in their pleasure.
Shure PG58 (from 4200 to 5 600 rubles)
After the price increase is virtually the only acceptable microphone. At even smaller budget is worth paying attention to the AKG D55.
Behringer U-Phoria UMC202 (from 6300 to 9200 rubles)
Built-in audio solutions most laptops, desktops and tablets are poor. So that the external sound card / preamp from Behringer - a good choice. U-Phoria UMC202 is connected via USB to almost all devices have two inputs for a microphone with phantom power and can output sound as monitors and headphones. There is a sound recording and playback support 24-bit / 192 kHz.
Acoustic foam (from 1500 to 2 500 per square meter)
One of the main problems of home recording should be called extraneous noise. Silence is very important. sound reflections from walls, echo - this, too, must be addressed. You can buy ready-made version of an acoustic screen to the frame, but it is much easier and cheaper to buy a few square meters of the material and to limit their recording area.
