This will determine if you\u2019re going to need a hook-up for multiple microphones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will you be recording on the road, or will your studio stay in one place? This can <b>determine if mobility is an important factor in your decision.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have the answers to those question, here are six great options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/samsung.png\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-samson-q2u\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"samson-q2u\"><\/span>Samson Q2U<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Samson Q2U is a great starter microphone for most podcasters. You\u2019ll get quality sound due to its cardioid pickup pattern that captures sound from in the front of the microphone, rather than the side and rear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s both XLR and USB, which means you can start out by plugging it into your computer, but can also use XLR cables for professional equipment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time of writing this article, Samson was selling this mic (with accessories) for <strong>$69.99<\/strong> on their website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/samsontech.com\/products\/microphones\/usb-microphones\/q2u\/\">Learn more about or purchase the Samson USB\/XLR Dynamic Microphone here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/blue-768x830.png\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blue-yeti-usb-microphone\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"blue-yeti-usb-microphone\"><\/span>Blue Yeti USB Microphone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iconic Blue Yeti USB is another popular microphone that&#8217;s reasonably priced and a top choice for podcasters.<br><br>As it states in the name, this microphone can only be hooked up to your computer and does not have an XLR option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mic features a tri-capsule array, which allows for multiple pickup patterns,&nbsp;allowing you to record in almost any situation and additionally boasts a setting for solo recording, two-person recording, and group recording. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another popular feature is that it allows you to control the gain (how much quiet sound the mic picks up). Just be careful \u2013 too much gain means echoey recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bottom line is that this mic will deliver great quality audio, is versatile and is simple to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the time of writing this article, the &nbsp;Blue Yeti USB Microphone was selling for <strong>$84.99<\/strong> on Amazon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone (ATR Series)\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/audio-technica.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-audio-technica-atr2100x-usb-cardioid-dynamic-microphone\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"audio-technica-atr2100x-usb-cardioid-dynamic-microphone\"><\/span>Audio-Technica ATR2100x-USB Cardioid Dynamic Microphone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a handheld dynamic microphone that has both USB and XLR capabilities. It\u2019s a great microphone for podcasting due to its smooth, extended frequency response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It comes with a built-in headphone jack so you can easily listen to the mic\u2019s output without a delay. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Audio-Technica-ATR2100x-USB-Cardioid-Microphone-ATR\/dp\/B07ZPBFVKK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check it out on Amazon here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/rhode-768x768.png\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rode-procaster-broadcast-dynamic-vocal-microphone\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"rode-procaster-broadcast-dynamic-vocal-microphone\"><\/span>Rode Procaster Broadcast Dynamic Vocal Microphone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an XLR dynamic microphone, and it\u2019s a bit pricier than an entry-level microphone, but it\u2019s worth it. It won\u2019t pick up much background noise, giving you a smooth recording. It has an internal shock mounting capsule for low handling noise, and does a great job increasing clarity of sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rode-Procaster-Broadcast-Dynamic-Microphone\/dp\/B001IPUJJI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check it out on Amazon here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/heil-768x545.png\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-heil-sound-pr-40-dynamic-studio-microphone\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"heil-sound-pr-40-dynamic-studio-microphone\"><\/span>HEiL sound PR-40 Dynamic Studio Microphone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A dynamic mic, this is a good choice for podcasters who don\u2019t work in professional environments. It includes an internal breath blaster so that the vocal range doesn\u2019t have any pops or hisses. It\u2019s more expensive than the Rode, but gives similar results. However, it\u2019s very popular among podcasters because the sound it produces is excellent. It\u2019s worth trying out and comparing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/PR-40-Dynamic-Studio-Recording-Microphone\/dp\/B000SOYOTQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check it out on Amazon here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/rss.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/sure-768x768.png\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shure-sm7b-cardioid-dynamic-microphone\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"shure-sm7b-cardioid-dynamic-microphone\"><\/span>Shure SM7B Cardioid Dynamic Microphone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Does this mic look familiar? The SM7B is the choice of many successful podcasters and is perfect for a variety of applications ranging from high-profile broadcasting and professional podcasts to studio recordings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SM&amp;B features state-of-the-art electromagnetic hum reduction for clean audio. Designed to capture and enhance the nuances of the human voice, the SM7B excels at eliminating background noise and performs best when paired with preamps that offer +60dB of gain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fun fact is that the SM7b was used by artists such as Michael Jackson and the Pentatonix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This legendary mic delivers smooth, warm vocals, ensuring an exceptional listening experience every time. This microphone isn&#8217;t cheap, but is one of the best.
