It features a built-in pop filter to minimize plosive sounds, an internal suspension to reduce vibration, and comes with an additional studio-grade external pop filter to ensure you can record crisp, clean audio every time.
It's a definite for streamers who looking to hit the ground running with solid sound on a budget. The PodMic has an entry-level price point for a mic that will last a lifetime
For the price I am very happy. Much clearer sound than my old Samson Q7.
It’s a great budget alternative to something like the Shure SM7b. Brilliant value, sound is good. Get what you pay for!
Very solidly built and inspires confidence. I also have a Sure SM7b so was able to compare directly. I would not say either one is 'better' or 'worse' than the other, just (as with many microphones of similar design) there are some differences in 'character' that you might prefer - or not. They are quite close. The Podmic does have a slightly higher output than the SM7b, which does reduce the amount of preamp gain required. I am running it into a Universal Audio Apollo Twin, and find +55db is adequate. Overall - a very good microphone in it's own right.
I am using this mic with my rodecaster pro 2 and it is great! Love it! Very heavy though. Integrated pop filter is great to. Can recommend it to everyone who wants an affordable mic with high quality.
