I want to do some recording for podcast. We will be sitting around a table. Using a mix board and headphones. Do you think these mics would be decent?

Absolutely, that is what I do every other week with these mics. I've found that 90% of how well my podcast sounds is making sure the mics are close enough and the recording level is high enough without having the signal peak. Once it's recorded look into audio compression and you'll have yourself a great sounding podcast! Good luck!

I think they should be. I used them in a band and with a mix board you should be able to pick up speaking voices around a table just fine.

As long as you have an xlr cable for the mic with a proper connector at the other end to plug into your board they should be adequate. These are not high-end mics but for the spoken word they should do fine.

what's great about these mic's is that they do a great job to eliminate any kind of sound in the background, there were yard men in my yard and it did not pick up those noises as i was recording. The quality is decent and for podcasts it should be perfect. I only recommend better mic's for studio recordings or playing a concert with a full band where you gotta try to fill a lot of empty space.

Most definitely, as long as your mix board has decent quality mic preamps, these should do the job nicely. I've noticed that a lot of podcasters seem to prefer condenser mics though...

Works very well in a hand or stand held situation. Not good for central use ( one mic is the middle of circle of people)They sound as good as the Shure SM 58's we have a church.Has an on/off switch. the only down fall with inexpireanced users.Gerald Wheeland In sound for over 30 years in church.

Yes, the clarity is very good for recording. I use this mic for church and it does a wonderful job with the vocals.

Hi Sue. I wouldn't even bother buying these. The sound quality is pretty bad. I was going to use these while filming weddings so I could talk to my partner during the ceremony and reception but my testing proved these mics to be worthless. I would look for something of higher quality. As for your original question...I do not think they would hold up very well with sweat since they are cheap. Just in case you still wanted to buy it =] Hope this helped

The microphones can provide good quality to your purpose but I will recommend to make some test before in your microphone settings (levels) and the right distance from the mouth , not breathing to the microphone your results will be good with this or any other microphone

Absolutely! Especially for voice and guitar. You will be surprised by the warmth and fullness that these built in mikes provide. Way better than a $100 Microphone. You will be pleased.

It would probably be overkill for a podcast, unless you're hosting a 5-piece band as part of your show. This mixer is really for full-band live performance. If you're looking for something to mix voice and some other sounds your best bet would be something with many fewer channels.

I used this to pick up vocals however it was pretty good at picking up ambient noise pretty well. I would say it would depend on how close you play the instrument to the microphone. Over all I say it's worth a shot, a condenser mic (which is used for professional studio recording) can go up in price and if you're not that worried about super crisp quality I would definitely pick this up.

Yes you could...not sure about recording with that type of mic though. Maybe for a small performance or something. But again it would be better to use a studio recording microphone. that dynamic mic you would need the jack for that type of mic.

They're actually very accurate mics, in my opinion. In that low of a price range I think you'll find them to be better, however they are pretty susceptible to noise, whether it's from interference, wind (even just from moving them), or the rumbling of handling the unit while you're recording. If you use external mics you don't get the handling noise, but the wind can be protected against with a wind screen. Despite all that noise stuff, I'm very happy with the internal mics! You just have to be careful while handling the unit when it's recording with them.

It really depends on what kind of sound you're looking for. We went with one of Rode's higher end mics and put an Apogee Jam in the middle for higher quality sound. We bought everything for about $500.

Hey Jonathan, this is an awesome mic. No recorder needed. But if your recording from far away a recorder would be best. I do a lot of interviews with mine and it works great.

I used this set up to record a bunch of spoken word poetry so I would say yes.my understanding is the mic is also designed to work well in environments that are not acoustically sound. So again, you should be good.

Yes, I have a Mic sitting on my desk and it will pick up some sound from time to time, so I imagine the mod Mic will be no exception, however don't let that stop you from buying these, they are truly some of the best audio I've ever heard.

I've used this mic for a podcast, and it handles a speaking voice just fine. For instrumentals, I've had more success with the Blue Yeti.

yes the mics are very good! I have had mine for half a year so far, no loss in quality. but keep the small one in a memorable place.p.s it would be a good idea to SEW the ear padding down, otherwise it will come off within 2 weeks. (that is literally the only problem, if you sew it early, you will never have to worry about the padding)better than the expensive turtle beach or other brands that I've tried, that's for sure!
