Shure - SM48-LC

Depends... Rode Broadcaster in studio (into RCP and MacBook with Hindenburg) Shure SM48 in field if more than 2 mics needed (into Podtrak P4) Rode Micro in field with 2 or fewer mics needed into iPhone (short distances) Rode Wireless Pro with 2 or fewer mics needed into iPhone or MacBook (longer distances)

If you have iPhone or flagship Samsung or Pixel you already have great mic. If you recording in non treated room better yo use dynamic mic. I use SM48 and I absolutely love it but people prefer SM58 for unknown to me reasons (it seems to look better on graph but thats it as my voice sounds absolutely neat with SM48), I bought used and have no regrets.

Bro you can be like everyone else and buy SM58 go for it lol Im staying with SM48. I like its frequency response, it fits me better.

I use Shure SM48 but people tend to think SM58 is better, no they're different. SM48 is quieter you can freely shout out to it and normal spoken words it acquirers as well.

Hey, audio engineer here, I’ve worked with a lot of microphones! A shure SM48 is a great option if you have an audio interface, but if not, you’re gonna need to spend a little more on a mic if you need it to be usb and not be sitting on your desk. Honestly a new gaming headset might be more affordable for now if you get one with a mic, it might not provide the sound quality you want but there are plenty of options that will get the job done

You’ll want to get an external microphone that connects via USB or use an audio interface with an XLR mic—something like the Focusrite Scarlett Solo. A USB mic will be the easiest and most affordable option. I personally use a Shure mic with XLR and audio interface but if you want USB only for simplicity. This one is highly rated and works great with Zoom: https://a.co/d/0kW94MC There’s also a higher-end version here: https://a.co/d/3dMutRA I’ve also heard great things about these mics: https://a.co/d/98s1aEP At the end of the day, any USB mic will work—it just depends on how high you want the audio quality to be and how much you’re willing to spend.
