Surprisingly Inexpensive Cardioid Podcast Mic

The quality of a microphone usually goes up with the price, so you know your budget will largely determine how good it sounds in the end. If you're on a budget like me but still need a good quality mic, I think this model already does a good enough job without spending any money. You should also consider the type of input you are using and need. USB and 3.5mm are common connections that work with both Mac and PC. This little boy really is a plug and play USB connector. This means that as soon as you connect it to your desktop or laptop, it will be recognized by the operating system and ready to use without any additional drivers. The sound quality which is of course the main reason the repurchase of the microphone is actually quite good for the price of this device. However, as shown in the video, this Maono mic performs better when used closer to a month than beyond. When used in this way, it delivers the typical "podcast" sound quality that you often see in many YouTube videos or live streams. There is also a very handy front panel gain control that allows you to increase the gain if needed. I also appreciated the fact that it comes with a "pop filter" (black foam that you have to slide over). and an adapter in case I later want to mount this mic to one of those telescopic booms you see in recording studios.

Pros
