Podcasting Microphone

Shure MV7 Microphone

The Shure MV7 Podcasting Mic is by far my favorite microphone, even when compared to the Blue Yeti microphone that I started using in 2017 and is now a paper weight!  I definitely noticed a difference in the sound quality when recording episodes of the Delaware Blogger Podcast as well as “Out & About with Antionette” podcast.

Shure MV7 Specs

  • USB OR XLR CONNECTIONS: Dual USB;XLR output allows digital or analog recording
  • CLOSE MIC APPLICATIONS: Great for podcasting, recording, live streaming, and more

  • BUILT-IN HEADPHONE OUTPUT: The Built-in headphone output allows for direct headphone monitoring while recording
  • RICH and NATURAL VOCAL REPRODUCTION: Optimized frequency response for rich and natural vocal reproduction
  • ShurePlus MOTIV DESKTOP APPLICATION: Provides access to audio processing, Auto-Level Mode automatically adjusts gain and compression settings, switchable EQ filters to adjust audio tone color and options to save custom user presets
  • ALL-METAL CONSTRUCTION: Rugged and professional all-metal construction provides outstanding reliability

 

Podcasting Headphones

TASCAM Headphones

Last week I had to order a new set of headphones because my Koss pair broke and although they lasted several years, I knew that I wanted to try a different brand.  I will spend a lot on microphones, but on headphones….that’s a different story!  If you follow me on TikTok or YouTube, you would have seen me doing a quick unboxing of the Tascam TH-02 Closed Back Studio Headphones.

What I love it the comfortability of these headsets which I didn’t realize I was missing with my previous pair.

TASCAM Specs

  • Foldable design for easy, compact transport
  • Tightly-stitched, padded headband and ear pads for stylish comfort
  • Closed-back dynamic design with clean sound, rich bass response and crisp highs
  • Snap-on 1/8” (3.5 millimeter) to 1/4” (6.3 millimeter) adapter

 

Microphone Isolation Shield

podcasting isolation shield

 The microphone isolation shield is also a piece of podcasting equipment that is a staple and sits on my desk in front of my Shure Microphone.  I had a smaller shield which was great, however, when hubby purchased this larger one, I figured it was best to use it instead.  

This high density sound absorbing foam shield is placed behind your mic and is great especially if you don’t have padded walls with Acoustic Tiles like the ones installed at Blake’s Booth Podcasting Studio at H.O.M.E. in Middletown, Delaware.  If you are looking to rent a podcasting studio make sure to check out Blake’s Booth for rental rates and availability.

Isolation Shield Specs

  • Includes all assembly and mounting hardware | Branding/Logo on Product May Differ
  • Dual clamp mount attaches to mic stands or booms up to 1.25″ diameter.
  • Features a standard 3/8″ microphone threaded mount and includes a 3/8″ to 5/8″ thread adapter
  • Measures about 17.3″ x 15.4″ x 5.5″ when folded for storage
  • Acoustic foam front and vented metal back plate. The two outer panels can be folded inward for storage or for creating a tighter acoustic isolation chamber.

 

Podcasting Boom Arm Accessories

 Boom Arm/Shock Mount Windscreen/Pop Filter

I previously used a table top mic stand with a pop filter, however, I like the mountable Boom Arm with Pop filter better because it gives more flexibility if I prefer to stand up while recording.  Standing while recording gives your more freedom to move your arms, if you like to talk with your hands and you won’t inadvertently hit the mic.

It also works with all types of mics, including the Shure MV7 and is portable enough that it can be taken with you as I did when I hosted the TEDx Wilmington podcast interviews in April.

Specs for Boom Arm Accessories

  • Shock Mount: Please noted the shock mount is not fit for Blue Yeti.  It is made of high-quality material and can protect the microphone all-around with high rubber rope design which makes the microphone more convenient to install and prevent it from falling. The shock mount has a hole diameter of 52mm, which is slightly larger than others.
  • Heavy-duty Structure Mic Stand: The extra strong spring of the boom arm prevents the microphone from accidental dropping, noise generation and shaking. It has a table mounting clamp and protective layers of sponge. An adjustable positioning screw can easily clip to any desktop with a thickness of 2″.
  • Double Screen Pop Filters: The first screen blocks air blasts as any pop filter normally would. The gap in between then disperses any remaining air pressure, so by the time it passes the second screen, the blast is easily contained.
  • Especially Design: The cable ties which adopt the self-locking fastener design, strong durable powerful lock, easy handling and prevent snagging in tight.
  • All-in-One Combo: Package includes all the items you need for studio recording and live sound, a microphone stand, a zinc alloy table mounting clamp, a 3/8″ to 5/8″ metal screw adapter to make it perfect for blue yeti and other microphones, a pop filter, a shock mount and five cable ties, easy to assemble and carry.
