Recommended Microphones for OpenDentist

Cheap, cheerful, and gets the job done. If you want to try OpenDentist without spending much, this is your starting point. Just be aware that at this price point, you may run into the odd interference issue depending on your setup.

A step up from the Lark A1 – small, light, and built for more demanding use. If you're using OpenDentist regularly throughout the day, this is the natural upgrade. The only time interference becomes a concern is if multiple dentists in the same practice are all using it in surgeries right next to each other.

If you're using OpenDentist every single day, this is the one to get. On top of excellent audio quality, it features 32-bit float recording directly onto the device itself – so you've always got a backup, no matter what. Zero compromises.
