Dynamic Or Condenser Microphone For Podcasting

I bought this for a 2 channel audio interface, condenser microphone, mount and pop filter that I use for podcasting and teaching remotely via Zoom. This was the perfect case for my needs. It's affordable, has plenty of room and provides superior protection for my equipment. I feel much better carrying this than trying to cram everything in my backpack and worrying about it.

I'm using this microphone to record my voice for audio lectures. I'm doing the recording at my desk in my office, which is why I selected a dynamic mic rather than a condenser (to reject ambient noises). The recordings sound great and very clear. I think it reproduces my voice very accurately, or at least it does so better than some less expensive lavalier condenser mics I've used in the past.For those looking to do something similar, I'm using the Zoom H5 as an audio interface running directly into my computer on USB bus power (no batteries or SD card needed). The H5 preamps are strong enough for this mic, even though it's dynamic. The results sound very good to my ear. I am very happy with this mic.

You won't be disappointed with it and I have dynamic mic are way much better than condenser mic.

connecting the condenser microphone, quite functional

If you know, you know. This microphone is the best you can get. I use it for podcasting as well as some video work. Invest in your equipment.

I've been using a Shure SM57 for as a podcast mic, and honestly for $100 that thing is great. THIS microphone is on a whole other level. The versatility of the mic is a huge plus, with low pass and high pass filter options, you can get really close to the sound of an RE20. I bought an RE20 and this mic at the same time to see which one would be best for podcasting. My conclusion is if you want a mic JUST for spoken word, I think the RE20 should be your go to. It's several hundred dollars cheaper, and I think it gets amazing sound. Doesn't need much EQ in post. However if you want a mic that captures clarity like a condenser, this will obviously be a better choice. The noise rejection is great on the LS-208, maybe not quite as good as the RE20 but it is amazing for a condenser. I have it set with a 9k LP and 50HZ HP for podcasting and it sounds absolutely incredible. I also record music, mostly acoustic guitar and vocals. This thing EXCELS for both. Did a side by side with RE20 for music, and while the vocals sound pretty good on an RE20, the acoustic guitar sounds pretty awful. The LS-208 sounds worlds better. Which makes sense with it being a condenser. So someday I'd like to have both the RE20 and the LS-208 in my mic locker, but for now, it's LS-208 all the way. No regrets!

Great mic for podcasting on a budget. It's a bit sensitive, even for a condenser-style mic, but if you keep the gain down and intelligently select the recording pattern, it should not be a problem. I've only used it in quiet rooms, and never outdoors or in an environment with ambient sound. I would imagine it may not do so well in such an environment because of the sensitivity. I opt for shot-gun style mics in those environments. For controlled condition recordings, I don't think you'll do much better in terms of a USB mic and I highly recommend it.

good basic Large Capsule Condenser Microphone.

Great microphone for podcasting, enhance the presence for a better deep voice.

Worked perfectly out of the box for my podcasting/streaming setup. It's more than enough for my little dynamic mic, and it's solid enough to handle quite a bit more weight as well.
