How to Choose

Do not choose only by price — choose by connection type

The most common mistake is buying the wrong microphone for the wrong device. A steno writer microphone is not the same as a USB laptop microphone. A single USB microphone is not the same as a multi-microphone courtroom package. Start by deciding where the audio needs to go: your writer, your laptop, your Zoom setup, or a wider courtroom recording system.

For laptop AudioSync and software recording
Choose a USB microphone like HGMUSB or a USB microphone package.
For steno writer microphone input
Choose a compatible writer microphone such as the Luminex mic or HGM-2 when writer input is part of your workflow.
For remote jobs and Zoom depositions
Use the Zoom Court Reporter Kit or visit the Zoom Court Reporting category if your job requires remote audio routing.

Fast Recommendation

For most laptop-based reporters, start with HGMUSB

If your main need is clear laptop audio for court reporting software, realtime reporting, or AudioSync, start with the HGMUSB. If you need writer input, compare HGM-2 and Luminex. If you need wider room coverage, compare the Elite USB 3 package.
