Frequently asked questions
›Should I buy a USB or XLR microphone?
USB is simpler and cheaper to start with. XLR costs more up front because you also need an interface or mixer, but it gives you better long-term flexibility.
›Do I need a condenser microphone for podcasting?
No. In untreated rooms a dynamic microphone often sounds cleaner because it picks up less room noise.
