Product Information

The Talk Go is lightweight but not as portable as the Shure MV5, and we found that it picked up too much room noise and outside noise. All of them offer superior sound quality and are ideal for streamers, YouTubers, and almost everyone who professionally or personally looking to add a mini USB microphone to their gear.

But if, like me, you want it for singing it can be easily hand-held (although not obviously designed for this purpose) or fitted to a standard microphone stand with the adaptor as supplied.THE TIME PERIOD OF THIS DELAY IS CURRENTLY UNKNOWN BUT WE ARE WORKING WITH COURIER SERVICES TO RESUME NORMAL SERVICE.

This mic isn’t as huge and in-your-face as the Blue Yeti, but it’s also not as tiny as the Shure MV5.

Note that, generally speaking, many people find that mics work better for lower voices; in this round of testing, the recordings were of a female alto’s voice. Note: When using zero-latency monitoring mode, you may want to mute your microphone channel output in your software while recording, so you only hear the rest of the mix. One of the most highly-rated USB microphones on the market, the Samson 29/C01UPRO is a must-have if you’re working on a tight budget.

The same goes for pop filters—those that are made for general mics often don’t fit well on the Yeti’s basic stand. From our years of testing experience with dozens of USB microphones, we can attest that the Yeti is one of the easiest mics to get plugged in and sounding good. With its 14mm condenser capsule and flat frequency response, the mic can create a more accurate reproduction of your voice—broadcasting with stellar clarity that’s filled with crisp highs and deep lows. Placing the microphone closer to the sound source will also improve the voice-to-background-noise ratio.

High-quality condenser capsule that delivers warmth and presence for a clear, professional sound in all recording applications. If you’re recording something live, such as a podcast, it’s also far simpler to turn down the volume on a physical gain dial than it is to figure that out later in your recording software. If that’s not possible or if the results still aren’t to your liking, you can purchase a shield to place around your mic to focus the audio input.
