- Do I need an audio interface to use this mic?
- Yes. It has an XLR output only, so you need an audio interface, mixer or recorder with XLR input and phantom power.
- Is it good for podcasting and streaming?
- It works for spoken voice and gaming chat once gain is set, but the condenser design picks up keyboard and room noise more than a dynamic mic.
- How does it compare with USB podcast kits?
- USB kits plug straight into a computer. This one sounds better only if you already own a decent interface, and it costs more once you add one.
- Does it come with a pop filter and boom arm?
- Yes, the bundle includes a boom arm and a pop filter, plus the microphone itself.
- Can I use two of these at once?
- Yes, the mic is listed as suitable for dual-microphone setups, but you need an interface with two XLR inputs and phantom power.
- What is the self-noise figure?
- It is rated at 16 dB, which is low for a budget condenser and should be quiet enough for close voice recording.
