Which Podcast Mic Should You Buy?

from The Jag Show: Podcast Tips, Tricks, and Best Practices · host Jon Gay

Today, I'm breaking down 5 popular mics that you may have seen in your search for the perfect podcast mic. We start with the well-advertised, terribly performing Blue Yeti.  I explain why you're better off to skip it, and buy a dynamic microphone for cheaper.Next, the nearly interchangeable Samson Q2U and Audio Technica ATR-2100X.   The ATR has a USB-C option, but has been in very short supply lately.  The Q2U is only USB-A, but you can buy an adapter/dongle and use a USB-C port on a newer computer.  Both are around $60-$70.Middle of the road, you can upgrade to the Shure MV7 - for around $300.  High quality mic for a little bit more than entry level.If budget isn't a concern, or you're spending a marketing budget, splurge on the Shure SM7B.  You'll see it in most high-end podcast productions.  And it's been used by everyone from Michael Jackson to Eminem....to me.Microphone questions, reach out any time.
