Editor's note
This is the mic you have heard on countless podcasts and records, and it sounds the part. Just know it likes a strong preamp, so pair it with an interface that can feed it gain.
Why we picked it
Best for: Serious creators with an interface who want the industry-standard broadcast voice and full control over their chain.
It is the studio and broadcast benchmark for spoken voice, and once you feed it enough clean gain nothing at this price sounds more authoritative.
What we like
- + The benchmark broadcast and studio voice
- + Excellent noise and hum rejection for real rooms
- + Built-in shock mount and windscreen included
- + Bass rolloff and presence tone switches onboard
- + Built to last with a genuinely timeless sound
Watch outs
- - Needs roughly +60dB of clean gain, often an inline preamp
- - XLR only, so it requires an audio interface
- - No headphone jack on the mic for monitoring
- - The most expensive and least plug-and-play pick here
