podcast microphones around, for every budget & ability. Choose your gear, right here!</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading " id="why-is-a-good-podcast-microphone-important">Why is a Good Podcast Microphone Important?</h2><p>It might seem obvious, but it’s a question worth asking – Why bother investing in a good podcast microphone at all?</p><p>However you record, there’s no denying that a podcast recorded on a decent-quality microphone is massively more professional than someone blabbering away on a tinny headset mic.</p><p>After all, it’s the mic that captures your voice and translates it from physical sound waves into digital bits and bytes. </p><p>Just to let you know, all of the product links in this article are affiliate links.

XLR mics are considered to be the more professional, but many USB mics are good enough to go toe-to-toe with them these days. If you buy an XLR mic you’ll need some additional kit (like a <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/best-usb-audio-interface/">USB Audio Interface</a>, <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/podcast-mixers/">Mixer</a>, or <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/best-digital-podcast-recorders/">Podcast Recorder</a>) to run it into, whilst USB mics work right out of the box. Some podcast microphones actually do both, though, so you <em>can </em>have the best of both worlds! </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="should-i-choose-a-dynamic-or-condenser-mic">Should I Choose a Dynamic or Condenser Mic?</h3><p>The terms “Condenser” and “Dynamic” refer to two different ways microphones are built, and function. Both types of mic have their potential pros and cons. Dynamic mics are often more durable and can handle high volumes without distortion. Condenser mics, on the other hand, are often capable of recording a more crisp and detailed sound. These are broad generalisations though, and there are always exceptions. Here’s our full guide to <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/recording-skills/condenser-vs-dynamic-microphones/">Condenser Vs Dynamic Mics in Podcasting</a> for a deeper dive on the subject. </p><h2 class="wp-block-heading " id="best-podcast-microphones-for-all-budgets-prices">Best Podcast Microphones for All Budgets & Prices</h2><p>We’ve organised this Best Podcast Mics roundup by cost to make your choice as easy as possible.</p><style> .wpj-jtoc.--jtoc-theme-basic-light.--jtoc-has-custom-styles { --jtoc-numeration-suffix: ".

It’s also amazingly easy to use with a plug and play USB connection.</p><p>One of its biggest advantages, though, is its range of <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/microphone-polar-patterns/">polar patterns</a>. The Yeti offers settings for solo recording, two-person face to face recording, and group recording. So, it’s flexible and can adapt to just about any situation. For best quality sound, you need to be quite <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/get-blue-yeti-to-sound-good/">close to the mic</a>, so prepare to get pretty cosy when you’re recording two people or groups.</p><div id="om-mx8vbwfdofj6kpxzqitj-holder"></div><script type="rocketlazyloadscript">(function(d,u,ac){var s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.src='https://a.omappapi.com/app/js/api.min.js';s.async=true;s.dataset.user=u;s.dataset.campaign=ac;d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);})(document,167735,'mx8vbwfdofj6kpxzqitj');</script><p>Lastly, the Blue Yeti comes with its own stand, so it’s a good mic if you want to jump in at the high-end and not have to worry about additional kit. Click here for more info about the <a data-lasso-id="15185" href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/blue-yeti-microphone-accesory-guide/">Blue Yeti and its various accessories</a>.</p><p>The Yeti might not quite match the MXL990 or the Rode podcast mics for sheer quality, but the ease of use and the fact that it’s entirely standalone make it a really serious choice at this level. See our <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/blue-yeti-podcasting-review/">Blue Yeti review</a> for the full lowdown. </p><p>It’s also worth mentioning that, in late 2019, the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Professional-Condenser-Microphone-Podcasting/dp/B08P815NNZ?crid=3G0GC81FCD54&keywords=blue+yeti+x&qid=1681893981&sprefix=blue+yeti+x%2Caps%2C205&sr=8-4&linkCode=ll1&tag=thepodhos-20&linkId=d6cdec1dcd98e1a746fe8fa710adede8&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Blue Yeti X</a> was released. This model offers a few upgrades to the original, such as higher <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/q-and-a/what-does-44100hz-mean-podcast-sample-rates/">recording resolution</a> and an additional condenser capsule. Whilst these are nice technical improvements, the difference in audio quality will unlikely be noticeable to most podcast listeners. That said, as a podcaster, you might prefer the Blue Yeti X over its predecessor due to its improved sleek design. </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="lyra">10.

That isn’t an excuse to rely on tech to fix poor-sounding and ill-prepared environments, but it’s great backup if you struggle to find a consistent or permanent space to record your show. It isn’t the cheapest option out there, considering it’s USB-only, but its forgiving audio features will make it an appealing option for many. </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="px1">13.

And, being based on the MV7+, it can work well as a standalone mic, too. </p><p>With that said, the mic performed well on a MacBook for us, but not so great on a couple of laptops, so this might be one to avoid unless you’re an Apple user. </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="h-20-rode-nt1-5th-gen">20.

As Rode say themselves, this is “a revolutionary recording format that allows you to record everything from a whisper to a scream, the softest guitar to the loudest drummer without having to worry about setting your gain – simply adjust your audio after recording and all the dynamics of your performance will be maintained, with zero risk of clipping or distortion.”</p><p>Check out our <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/rode-nt1-5th-gen-review/">Rode NT1 5th Gen review</a> for the full lowdown and some sound samples. </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="h-21-apogee-hypemic">21.
