These mics utilize tiny transducers, which are noisy and distort easily, making them difficult to optimize gain. And, because mics on phones are tuned to pick up a narrower bandwidth of sound, specifically the midrange of the human voice, they are not optimal for full-frequency recording or live streams.<\/p>\n<p>Connecting an external microphone to your phone will exponentially improve the quality of your recordings.
