Want to make your favorite podcaster happy? Maybe you are looking for something for yourself. Maybe it’s time to improve your audio quality or enhance your process or it’s time to take a big step forward and invest in support.
We’ve got the perfect podcast gift list for you.
Podcast Equipment
Microphones
This is one of our favorite microphones. You can count on great sound quality. This microphone is equipped with USB and XLR connections. It’s great for podcasting as well as live streaming, and more.
You can also count on:
- Intuitive touch panel controls over gain, volume, muting and more
- The Built-in headphone output allows for direct headphone monitoring while recording
- Optimized frequency response for rich and natural vocal reproduction
This is the microphone I use for all of my recordings. I get great audio quality and voice resonance and it works well for higher tone voices. You can talk into this with low to medium gain without picking up other sounds in the room.
You’ll need an interface to connect this to your laptop.
This is one of the most popular choices for podcasters. You can connect to your laptop via USB. It comes with a stand and an XLR connection as well. It’s one of the best values for the money.
Mixers and Recording Interfaces
This does double duty by allowing you to use up to 4 microphone inputs to record directly to a microSD card or connecting to your favorite software via USB connection.
It also has:
- 8 programmable sound effects pads allow instant triggering of SFX, music, and more; record audio direct to the pads from any input or add files from your computer
- Interview remotely by simply connecting your phone via Bluetooth or with a TRRS cable; automatic “mix-minus” audio prevents echo being heard by callers
Use this to stream 2 inputs and 2 outputs to your recording software. I use this model when recording solo as well. It allows me to connect via USB to my laptop when using my Heil XLR microphone.
Comes with software that allows two hum-free balanced outputs for clean audio playback. With the quick start tool, it’s easier than ever to get up and running. Connectivity: USB
Sound Shields and Enclosures
Monoprice Microphone Isolation Shield
High density absorbing foam so you can record in any setting.
If money and space are not a concern, you can build your very own recording space!
Recording Software
This is our recommended software if you want to record more than one person. It’s so good, we don’t recommend anything else right now. We have tried tested 12 other software options and while many perform well, Riverside offers the best features and value.
