I encountered the problem how to choose the best microphone when I decided to start my own podcast channel. Just like purchase other electronic products, I searched as much information as possible before making decision on which mic should I go for as a newbie. Browsing around the reviews and all the specification of different products didn’t actually help that much.
Comparing varied brand and microphones, I cleared up my greatest demand: I need a microphone that has professional performance in sound processing so that the listeners don’t get bother because of the bad sound quality, which is I suppose the basic requirement of a microphone. At the same time, it has to be easy to use. This is really important as you won’t want to distract yourself by the complicated set-up of the equipment but focus on your podcast or creation.
What’ more important, the price should lay on my limited budget range.
I’ve added several microphones into my cart to compare on amazon and listed as following:
- Maono WM820 B2 -Best Podcaster Wireless Microphone for iPhone.
