If you record your voice for podcasts, voice-overs, or broadcasts, consider the Polsen MC-POD, an ideal microphone for the task at hand. This dynamic microphone requires no power to run and offers a cardioid polar pattern to better minimize off-axis background noise.
Want to get a deep, rich tone out of your voice? No problem�just lean in to the mic and use the proximity effect to your advantage. Because the mic offers an end-address design and an integrated windscreen, you can get as close as you want, ensuring a full capture without risking plosives or harsh sibilance. The mic also provides a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response to ensure the full range of your voice is recorded every time.
An internal shockmount isolates the mic from vibrations and handling noise, further bolstering the design. Within the mic itself, advanced shielding is utilized to protect the signal from electro-magnetic interference, which is common in untreated rooms. With this mic, you don't need to worry about structural borne vibrations or EMI. All you need to do is plug it in and get to work.
Podcast, Broadcast, and Voiceover
The MC-POD is an ideal microphone for podcasts, broadcasts, and voice-overs. Its intuitive design, easy setup, and durability mean you can use it at a moment's notice. If there's breaking news, or an event to discuss with your audience, just connect the MC-POD to your recorder, video camera, or mixing console, and you're ready to go to work.
Professional Sound Anywhere
All the features of the MC-POD ensure broadcast-quality sound, whether you're recording in a studio or home office. Ease of use and professional sound will make the MC-POD your go-to microphone for any speech or podcast application.
Tailored for Speech
Capturing the character of your voice counts for a lot in podcasting and voiceovers. With high sensitivity and wide frequency response, the MC-POD is tailored to capture the character and nuances of your voice so your audience will hear you with all your personality.
End-Address Design
The closer you get to the microphone, the deeper and richer your voice will sound. This proximity effect is what makes the pros sound so good, and the end-address design of the MC-POD lets you get close to the microphone so you can sound like a pro too.
Dynamic Microphone
The MC-POD doesn't require batteries or phantom power to operate. Just plug it in, set your levels, and go to work.
XLR Output
The MC-POD's balanced XLR output ensures unwanted static or hum from interference won't compromise your signal and bring your project to a halt.
Advanced Shielding
Hum from electromagnetic interference (EMI) can occur when you record or broadcast from an untreated room. To minimize the interference that can cause a constant buzz or hum in your audio, the MC-POD is designed with advanced internal shielding that protects it against EMI.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
The cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sound, focusing the sound directly in front of the capsule. That's a great feature when you're speaking from a location with some background noise, as the MC-POD will reject extraneous sound and focus on your voice.
Integrated Windscreen and Pop Filter
The MC-POD is designed with an internal windscreen and pop filter, so you can move close to the microphone without worrying your audience will hear distracting breath noise or those plosives.
Minimize Noise
Internal shockmounting protects the capsule from handling noise or vibrations from the desk or mic stand that can compromise your audio. You'll be able to move or reposition your mic�or even accidentally bump the desktop�without the telltale clatter of handling noise.
Integrated Mount
The rugged, all-metal mount has a standard 5/8-27 socket that's compatible with most mic stands or mic boom arms. It's also equipped with dual locking knobs for easy angle adjustment and a secure hold once the mic is in perfect position. The swivel capacity of this mount means you can position the MC-POD so it's never blocking your view of your guests or interviewees.
