This is the all-in-one kit designed to give the beginning podcaster professional sound quality whether you’re discussing sports, investing, or gourmet cooking. The set includes a dynamic microphone, an adjustable studio boom arm, and professional monitoring headphones. The mic’s wind screen has a cardioid polar pattern to reduce pickup of unwanted background noises for crisp, high-end sound. Its USB output connects to your computer and produces high-quality analog-to-digital conversion with excellent fidelity. The low-frequency-enhancing headphones plug into the mic for real-time direct monitoring. An XLR connector in the mic supports conventional analog output. The clamp-on boom arm mounts to a desk or table and rotates 360 degrees. A pre-threaded USB cable makes setup easy so you can be podcasting in just minutes.
