This is the best sound quality I’ve found that’s also practical in a home environment, but I don’t think it’s worth nearly triple the price of the Beta 87A, which has all of the same strengths and sounds very similar - compared to the 87A, the KMS 105 sounds warmer, with less high-end harshness and sibilance. Like the 87A, it’s very good at suppressing noise and room echo, is easy to drive, and doesn’t need a shockmount, although a pop filter is recommended. It’s warm and smooth without losing detail, with zero background hiss - even quieter than the 87A.

Neumann KMS 105 (XLR small condenser): $600, plus a $100+ XLR interfaceĮxtremely similar to the Beta 87A, but with better sound. Pop filter: Recommended, $12 mount combo or $10 foam With all of the practicality of a dynamic mic and most of the sound quality of a good condenser, this is by far my top recommendation for most podcasters. It’s also small and extremely durable for travel.

It picks up nearly zero room echo and very little background noise, and it can be powered well with no audible hiss from inexpensive XLR USB interfaces or portable recorder. Shure Beta 87A (XLR small condenser): $250, plus a $100+ XLR interfaceĪn incredibly practical, good-sounding mic for the non-professional recording environments that most podcasters use. And while we both have podcasts, neither of us are professionally trained announcers or have a background in radio - just like most podcasters.įrom most to least favorite, considering sound quality, value, and practicality for podcasters who aren’t recording in professional studios: I speak more loudly, and her quieter levels reveal background hiss more easily. I need more midrange smoothness, while she needs more sibilance suppression. My voice is more “picky” with mics, while she sounds great on almost anything. I’ve provided sound samples from both my wife and me for comparison: I have a more nasal voice, while she has a smoother tone. dynamic and pickup patternsĮvery microphone accentuates and suppresses different characteristics, so what works for one person may not sound as good with another. Some commonly recommended mics were disappointing, some were right on, and I’ve found some real gems that were previously unknown in my podcasting circles.
And almost no reviews include audio samples to compare.

It’s hard to find useful microphone recommendations for podcasters: most people have only tried one or two, except pro audio engineers, who have very different needs and record in very different environments.
