30px)"/></noscript> </picture> </figure><p>Our <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/business-of-podcasting/gear-survey-2024/">Podcast Gear Survey</a> revealed the three most popular podcasting mics in 2024. Popular doesn’t necessarily mean “best”, so here are our brief thoughts on each: </p><ol class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong><a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/blue-yeti-podcasting-review/">Blue Yeti</a> </strong>(USB) is a mic that can be easy to use incorrectly, and you’ll get better value for money elsewhere.</li> <li><strong><a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/samson-q2u-podcasting-review/">Samson Q2U</a></strong> (USB & XLR) is probably our most recommended podcast mic and an excellent option for most podcasters. </li> <li><strong><a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/shure-mv7-plus-review/">Shure MV7</a></strong> (USB & XLR)—This is a great mic, but it’s expensive if you’re just starting out. </li> </ol><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="h-usb-microphones">USB Microphones</h3><p>A common and simple piece of podcast equipment is the USB microphone. Often, these are condenser mics (as opposed to dynamic microphones), which plug straight into your computer via – oddly enough – a USB cable. USB mics are ideal for beginners, especially folks who do solo/monologue-style shows and those running online interview podcasts. Almost all of these mics have a <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/microphone-polar-patterns/">Cardioid polar pattern</a>, which means they are designed to pick up the voice of one single speaker at a time.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="h-xlr-microphones">XLR Microphones</h3><p>XLR mics require additional equipment to operate. They don’t plug straight into your computer but instead into an interface, preamp, mixer, or digital recorder (more on these later).</p><p>You can actually get interfaces, mixers, and digital recorders in USB form, though. So you <em>can</em> run an XLR mic into your computer, just not directly.</p><p>XLR mics are suited to folks who want premium audio quality and a lot more production flexibility, as well as those who don’t want to be tied to a computer at all times. </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="condenser-or-dynamic-microphones-best-quality">Condenser or Dynamic Microphones: Best Quality?</h3><p>Whilst XLR and USB tell us how the mic is connected (and what it’s connected to), the terms “condenser” and “dynamic” tell us how the mic is built and how it functions. XLR and USB mics can be either dynamic or condenser, though it’s common for USB mics to fall into the latter category.</p><p>We have an in-depth breakdown of the <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/recording-skills/condenser-vs-dynamic-microphones/">difference between dynamic and condenser mics</a>, but the succinct (and highly simplified) version is this:</p><ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><strong>Dynamic</strong> – more robust, more forgiving of sub-optimal environments.</li> <li><strong>Condenser</strong> – more nuanced for vocal recordings.</li> </ul><p>There’s no “best” answer here – only what works best for you.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="h-wireless-amp-lavalier-mics">Wireless & Lavalier Mics</h3><p>Not every podcaster records at a computer or standing at a mic stand in a studio. There are situations where some creators need a little more flexibility. Take someone who does a Yoga series, for example. They will be in all sorts of dynamic poses during a recording session.</p><p>Then, there are podcasters who record on the go, wherever they can. These creators need podcast equipment that’s quick, flexible, and portable. That’s where lavalier and wireless mics come in.</p><p>Lavalier (or ‘lav’) mics are typically seen on TV – think of the wee cable pinned to the chest of a newsreader. Newer lav mics tend to be wireless models, too, making them even more streamlined, discreet, and convenient. </p><p>The <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/rode-wireless-pro-review/">Rode Wireless Pro</a> is the Gold Standard of wireless mics in podcasting as both its transmitters (the mics themselves) act as standalone recorders that can capture audio files, whilst also sending the signal to a recorder via the receiver. </p><p>The Rode Wireless Pro even has a feature known as ‘32-bit floating’, making it almost impossible to distort your audio, even if you’re way too loud and your gain is set too high.</p><p>A kit like the Rode Wireless Go would be perfect for co-hosts exploring ruined buildings or open natural environments. But, there are other options for such portability, too…</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="recording-devices-that-include-mics">Recording Devices That Include Mics</h3><p>You probably already carry a mic around with you on your smartphone. Adding the <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/rode-wireless-micro-review/">Rode Wireless Micro</a> can turn this into a professional podcast setup. This kit is ideal for on-the-go recording and location interviews.</p><p>The Rode Wireless Micro is based on the Rode Wireless Pro, but much cheaper, and you can get an Android or iPhone version, depending on your device. </p><p>Phones and laptops have built-in mics that some would consider good enough for podcasting. As is commonly the case with audio, the “good enough” part is entirely down to your own opinion.</p><p>Alternatively, there are many high-quality digital recorders on the market. You can record directly into these or plug additional mics into them. Again, these are great options for someone looking for a flexible and portable setup.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading " id="h-recorders-podcast-equipment-amp-setup">Recorders: Podcast Equipment & Setup</h2><p>Speaking of digital recorders, we now need podcast equipment for actually capturing and storing your audio. This could be anything from a phone to a computer to a dedicated digital recorder itself.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="digital-recorders">Digital Recorders</h3><p>A dedicated <a data-lasso-id="7522" href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/best-digital-podcast-recorders/">digital recorder</a> is an excellent option for podcasting on the go whilst offering a level of sound quality above that of a smartphone.</p><p>On top of that, digital recorders offer many more settings and options for creating audio because that’s what they’re built for. </p><p>You don’t necessarily need an additional mic to record into one because most of them come with built-in mics, too. </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="computers">Computers</h3><p>Many options are available for recording directly into a computer. You can use a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) like <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/editing-production/audacity-for-podcast-production/">Audacity</a> or <a data-lasso-id="56313" href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/editing-production/audacity-vs-adobe-audition-cc-where-should-i-record-edit-my-podcast/">Adobe Audition</a>.

Audio mixers are traditional options, while podcast-specific interfaces, such as the <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/zoom-podtrak-p4-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zoom PodTrak P4</a> or the <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/rodecaster-pro-ii-review/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rode Rodecaster II</a>, are available these days.  </p><p>The PodTrak P4 and Rodecaster work well for in-person recordings, too. They have multiple XLR outputs so that guests can get their own mic. They can also wear headphones with their own individual volume control!</p><p>Whether you’re recording remotely or locally, having each guest on their own mic and audio channel will give you better-quality audio. This individual control can go a long way toward creating consistency and balance and minimising unwanted background noise.  </p><p>One simple but great-sounding smartphone setup for in-person interviews comes via the <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/rode-wireless-micro-review/">Rode Wireless Micro</a>, a fantastic little kit you can keep on you at all times and have set up in a few seconds. </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="do-i-need-any-gear-for-podcast-music">Do I Need Any Gear for Podcast Music?</h3><p>Not unless you’re a musician planning to make your own, no. <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/q-and-a/find-podcast-music/">Podcast music</a> is typically added in the post-production and editing phase. That said, you can use certain types of equipment to play music and effects “as live” during your recordings. This works particularly well for <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/podcraft-podcast/how-to-do-live-podcast-broadcasting/">live broadcasts</a> and saves you from having to edit them in later.</p><p>Podcast mixers are great for this purpose, as are pieces of kit like the Zoom PodTrak P4 and Rode Rodecaster II.  </p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="podcast-equipment-choices-on-amazon">Podcast Equipment Choices on Amazon</h3><p>Amazon has an entire <a href="https://www.amazon.com/podcast-equipment/s?k=podcast+equipment&linkCode=ll2&tag=thepodhos-20&linkId=d22778aace493d286e8b2bcb650ba56c&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">section dedicated to podcast equipment</a>. There are very few bits of kit you <em>can’t</em> pick up on Amazon, and you’ll find many an affordable option on there. Remember, there’s no “one size fits all” podcast equipment option, but the <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/minimum-equipment-podcast-starter-kit/">podcast starter kit from Samson</a> is as close as I’ve seen.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading " id="what-about-equipment-for-video-podcasts">What About Equipment for Video Podcasts?</h3><p>First up, <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/business-of-podcasting/why-video-cant-wont-replace-audio-in-podcasting/">be wary of anyone telling you that you <em>need</em> to add a video component to your show</a>. Many successful podcasts are 100% audio-only, and many others who run video will tell you that <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2023-05-04/youtube-s-podcast-deals-with-npr-slate-and-new-york-times-are-flopping?" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">their video views are dwarfed by their audio downloads</a>.  </p><p>If you <em>do </em>decide that you’d like to publish video as well as audio, then this is going to add a few pieces of kit to your setup. We cover this in full in our dedicated <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/planning/should-i-make-a-video-podcast/">video podcasting guide</a>. But the big three are an HD camera, a tripod, and some lighting. We also have a handy guide to the <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/editing-production/best-video-editing-software-for-creators/">best video editing softwar</a>e if you’re keen to go down this path. </p><h2 class="wp-block-heading " id="podcast-equipment-is-a-means-to-an-end">Podcast Equipment Is a Means to an End</h2><p>I mentioned already that most people don’t get into podcasting to collect loads of fancy and expensive audio equipment. Some folks do end up doing that, of course, but you definitely don’t <em>need </em>to. </p><p>It’s better to start simple so you can focus on your actual content, rather than whether or not your long chain of gear is all working correctly. Over time, as you grow, you can tweak and upgrade things here and there.</p><h2 class="wp-block-heading " id="summary-best-podcast-equipment-setup-for-beginners-pros-alike">Summary: Best Podcast Equipment & Setup for Beginners & Pros Alike</h2><p>Let’s sum things up by going full if…then. Here’s how you can decide what gear you need:</p><p><strong>1. If you’re recording solo, or recording interviews online, then:</strong></p><blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p><strong>Get a </strong><a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/samson-q2u-podcasting-review/" data-lasso-id="7539"><strong>Samson Q2U</strong></a><strong> mic</strong></p> </blockquote><p><strong>2. If you’re recording two people in person, on a budget, then:</strong></p><blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> <p><strong>Get the <a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/equipment/rode-wireless-micro-review/">Rode Wireless Micro</a></strong></p> </blockquote><p><strong>3.

It functions as both a USB and XLR mic, so if you decide to upgrade to a recorder or interface further down the line, it’ll work with them, too. </p><p>And if you’re looking for more help or guidance on any aspect of podcast equipment, join us in the <strong><a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com/academy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Podcraft Academy</a></strong>.

I came across you through your ebook originally, which was just what I was looking for. I ended up following your advice and purchased a Roland R-05, but I haven’t been that happy with the sound, which seems a bit tinny. I don’t have a particularly discerning ear and recordings are fine to use, but I think I must be using the ring settings. I followed their instructions for recording a meeting (high mic gain, AGC on, low cut on and so on) but perhaps that is the wrong approach?</p> <p>Thanks for any pointers you have,</p> <p>Colin.</p> </div> </article> <ul class="children"> <li id="comment-2211" class="comment odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-2211" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <b class="fn"><a href="https://www.thepodcasthost.com" class="url" rel="ugc">Colin Gray</a></b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-tph-time" tph-date="2014-03-25T15:50:00+00:00">25th March 2014 at 3:50 pm</span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Hi Colin, thanks for getting in touch. And great name by the way 😉</p> <p>The Roland is a great little recorder, recommended by quite a few top podcasters, but you’re right, it’s not perfect in all circumstances. Can you tell me what the recording environment is like? Where are you recording this audio?</p> <p>The microphone on the Roland itself is good, but it’s not as good as a decent quality standalone mic. It’s often best to pair it with an external one if you want the very best quality. For example, get yourself a Shure SM58 and plug that into the Roland for a bomb proof hand-held solution, or get a decent little lavalier mic and attach that to your subject’s shirt. </p> <p>Hope that helps!<br /> Colin</p> </div> </article> </li> </ul> </li> <li id="comment-2185" class="comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1 parent"> <article id="div-comment-2185" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <b class="fn">Nelson</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-tph-time" tph-date="2017-04-30T18:20:00+01:00">30th April 2017 at 6:20 pm</span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Hello, thank you for your great and helpful article.

I have a Samson 2QU, and find it’s too sensitive to background noise, even with a pop filter and foam cover. Recording direct into my Dell laptop via Audacity also picks up the PC noise (fan etc). I have a Zoom H4N so record into that, with a cable feed from the PC to record my interviewee over VOIP. I’ve had to force the PC to use the inbuilt mic, as the Samson plugged into the H4N at the same time created horrendous feedback. You can only power the Samson from a USB port (not mains etc). </p> <p>Podcast launching soon after I’ve cleaned up all the audio!!</p> </div> </article> </li> <li id="comment-9447" class="comment odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1 parent"> <article id="div-comment-9447" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <b class="fn">Mary</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-tph-time" tph-date="2019-07-11T20:12:45+01:00">11th July 2019 at 8:12 pm</span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Does anyone have a complete list of what equipment is needed for a brand new podcast?</p> </div> </article> <ul class="children"> <li id="comment-9569" class="comment byuser comment-author-lyharris even depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-9569" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <b class="fn">Lindsay Harris Friel</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-tph-time" tph-date="2019-07-12T14:56:54+01:00">12th July 2019 at 2:56 pm</span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>I think this article pretty much sums it up!</p> </div> </article> </li> </ul> </li> <li id="comment-26432" class="comment odd alt thread-even depth-1"> <article id="div-comment-26432" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <b class="fn">Ian</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-tph-time" tph-date="2019-09-17T08:25:57+01:00">17th September 2019 at 8:25 am</span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Found this very good in explaining to the uninitiated what equipment is involved in podcasting.</p> </div> </article> </li> <li id="comment-52809" class="comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1 parent"> <article id="div-comment-52809" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <b class="fn">Biancca Santiago</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-tph-time" tph-date="2020-01-01T22:00:13+00:00">1st January 2020 at 10:00 pm</span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Great information.

Thanks in advance.</p> </div> </article> <ul class="children"> <li id="comment-53145" class="comment byuser comment-author-mboudreau odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-53145" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <b class="fn">Matthew Boudreau</b> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <span class="comment-tph-time" tph-date="2020-01-04T15:41:12+00:00">4th January 2020 at 3:41 pm</span> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Absolutely possible. Many of the podcasts I work with involve remote hosting. I highly recommend using a service like Zoom or Zencastr to do the initial recording over the internet. Both services allow you to save individual files for later editing. As for equipment, each of you would need a good USB microphone like the Samson Q2U, headphones like the ATH-30s from Audio Technica and computer with an internet connection.</p> </div> </article>
