Podcasting Microphones

With the Audio-Technica AT2040USB microphone in your studio, you’ll instantly upgrade your vocal game and stand to benefit from plug-and-play convenience. This USB mic boasts a dynamic mic capsule that imbues your voice with a warm, rich character. The hypercardioid polar pattern helps eliminate ambient noise by focusing tightly on its intended sound source. An internal shockmount and a mesh/foam windscreen help lessen the effects of pops, plosives, and handling noise. Users will also appreciate the built-in mute button, headphone output, and Mix Control mode for blending the mic with pre-recorded audio.

Blue Microphones revolutionized the home recording world with the introduction of the Yeti in late 2009. It quickly became a favorite among content creators for its plug-and-play format that required no external hardware. Now, more than a decade later, Blue Microphones gives birth to the Blue Yeti X, their most advanced USB microphone to date. New features include an all-new 4-capsule condenser array that captures a more complete sound than ever before. You get multiple vocal presets that Blue designed specifically for podcasting and streaming. A smart multifunction knob has replaced the old-school knobs and offers onboard metering. The Blue Yeti X is equipped with customizable LED lighting to let you choose your aesthetic. Finally, Classic Yeti appointments such as four selectable polar patterns, an onboard headphone amp, latency-free monitoring, and momentary mute switch help the Yeti provide the exceptional functionality that made the microphone a streaming staple.
