The best USB microphone for podcasters in 2024?

Oh my, do I have a lovely microphone to show you today! The sE Neom microphone presents an intriguing option for podcasters seeking USB-only solutions. With its distinct design, on-brand red meshing, gunmetal colouring and unique features, the sE Neom aims to carve out a niche in a crowded USB microphone market. I have been testing this microphone now for about 6 months in a variety of locations and use cases. As a podcaster myself and a producer of over 50 podcasts, I’m always looking for microphones to recommend to my community.So I decided to put this one to the test. Thanks to Chris from Sound-Music for sending me this microphone! They’re a great bunch of humans based out of Melbourne who distribute the best gear to audio/production stores around Australia.—00:00 Introduction to SE Neom Microphone00:31 Microphone Features and Controls01:59 Sound Quality and Pop Filter Issues04:08 Microphone Performance in Different Settings06:13 Proximity Effect and Singing Test09:14 Final Thoughts and Recommendations11:23 Conclusion and Upcoming ComparisonsBAMBY MEDIA LINKS:Book A ConsultationFree Podcast Audit ServiceYouTube ChannelApply to Join PodCoachGEAR WE USE HERE AT BAMBY MEDIA:sE NeomSE Dyncaster DCM8Rode Boom ArmXLR CablesSony ZV E10Elgato CamlinkAputure Amaran 200d LED Video LightAputure Light Box MinPre-Amp/Mixers we recommendFocusrite Clarett+Rode Streamer XRodecaster Pro IIRodecaster Pro Duo
