<p>Today, I'm breaking down 5 popular mics that you may have seen in your search for the perfect podcast mic. </p><p>We start with the well-advertised, terribly performing Blue Yeti. I explain why you're better off to skip it, and buy a dynamic microphone for cheaper.</p><p>Next, the nearly interchangeable <a href="https://amzn.to/40Pnb5k" target="_blank">Samson Q2U</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3KVQhYn" target="_blank">Audio Technica ATR-2100X</a>. The ATR has a USB-C option, but has been in very short supply lately. The Q2U is only USB-A, but you can buy an adapter/dongle and use a USB-C port on a newer computer. Both are around $60-$70.</p><p>Middle of the road, you can upgrade to the <a href="https://amzn.to/4e1SHBd" target="_blank">Shure MV7</a> - for around $300. High quality mic for a little bit more than entry level.</p><p>If budget isn't a concern, or you're spending a marketing budget, splurge on the <a href="https://amzn.to/3KmLSOW" target="_blank">Shure SM7B</a>. You'll see it in most high-end podcast productions. And it's been used by everyone from Michael Jackson to Eminem....to me.</p><p>Microphone questions, reach out any time.</p>
