Electret Microphones For Podcast

I have a travel podcast studio so the PodTrak P4 is perfect for my setup. Traveling to different guests and clients around the country is super easy with this recording device. The other options were too big and clunky. This fits right in a backpack super easy. The sound quality is amazing. My different microphones work perfectly, even the condenser microphones! I'd suggest everyone use the PodTrak P4 for recording multiple podcast guests at a time.

I'm using this mixer to combine microphones, phone hybrid inputs and other sources to a small recorder for Podcast production. Perfect size and function.

I sold my old zoom and old dynamic microphones for this baby and it worth it, the sound is incredible! Now my podcast looks Pro!

I purchased two Audio-Technica ATR2100x microphones for my travel podcast setup. These microphones are perfect for my additional guests on my podcasts. My podcast clients use these microphones when interviews are conducted.

Does the trick for my podcast recording. Light years better than using cheaper microphones or (god forbid) earbud mics or an internal computer microphone. Recommended by a few professionals for this exact application. Shipping was very quick to boot!

I am using this lav mic to amplify a 5 string banjo. I had been using a generic electret battery driven lav mic (think radio shack) for that purpose, replacing the mini-plug with a female 1/4 inch, then using a standard guitar cord, plugging into a Baggs Para DI, then into the board of the sound system with an xlr mic line. That was OK, but I had lots of thin wire to coil, a fragile battery pod and the nusiance of dead watch batteries if I forgot to switch the thing off. The SM11 of course needs no batteries and the wiring is much more robust than the cheap lav mic. I can go direct into a mixing board and the sound is quite nice. The banjo doesn't really need a lot of high end amplification, and doesn't produce deep lows -- all of which the dynamic mic doesn't pick up. So the result is a nice warm sound, and much more full-spectrum than the electret mic to my ear. Probably because the diaphragm is larger, I guess. I don't need to hide this rather large (thumb size)lav canister in clothing, like a video person would. It rides in the backside of the banjo. The included tie clip worked fine, clipped to a little jig I sometimes use. But instead I wrapped the body in some dense memory foam, and made my own mount that also acts as a tone regulator behind the head -- it's an open-back banjo thing. Looks like this product is robust and should work for years. Works fine going straight into the mixing board. But when I run it through the Baggs Para DI (which is a preamp as well as a DI) I have to use a transformer to change the signal to HI-Z for the 1/4 inch input. Then the output from the Bagg's male xlr (lo-z again) is too hot for the mixing board, so I use a 20db attenuator between the DI out and the board mic-line in. Works fine that way.

We use the Sony ECM44BMP Electret Condenser Mic for the Sony WRT-805 Body Pack (Transmitter) and it really works well in terms of mic pickup and clarity of the speaker's voice.

I am using the INV-6 on my upright bass (the mic is an old Sony ECM-23F back-electret mic and the INV-6 is monted to an ExplorAudio H-Clamp SPIRIT Mic mount. The INV-6 does its job of shock absorption VERY well and at the same time doesn't stick out as far as the spider type shock mounts.

Just what i needed for a podcast.
