The Best Podcast Microphone for Beginners

ATR2100 – This is one of the most common mic used by those who are beginning to podcast. It is easy to use and offers a great quality, it is a combination of both XLR and USB. This is a lot better than a cheap headset microphone or an internal mic.

The Best Podcast Microphone for Professionals 

Rode Procaster – If you are not new in podcasting, and know the technicalities involved, this should  be your pic. This is an XLR mic, that offers dynamic podcast capabilities, this is costly, with all other  attachments, therefore it is advisable to use it, if you know how to use it well. Not ideal for beginners.

Heil PR40 – This one is for professional podcasters, this will offer the best sound, just the one you need. This is a very popular choice among seasoned podcasters, although many consider it to be overpriced, this often results in excellent voice quality.

Although the microphone you use certainly makes a lot of difference, a bad sound quality might also be simply because of an unclear voice.
