![]() ![]() ![]() The RE20 is broadcast standard and is in practically every commercial radio station in the world. Me back in 2013 using the Electro-Voice RE20 mic The $50 AT2005USB is such a good mic that I use it for my radio show even though I own a $500 Electro-Voice RE20 mic. Foam windscreen above and below clamp to transmit less bumping from scissor-mount mic stand And put a foam windscreen squished above and below the table where you clamp it on so the mic “hears” less bumping from the table and floor. Make sure you bolt it to a table other than the one you are using and bumping. A little more expensive than the basic stand above, but gives you more control. Also, it’s too big to easily get on a mic stand to get it near your mouth, and you need to get your mic near your mouth to get really excellent audio.ĭynamic cardioid mics are the way to go for live high-quality two- and three-way talk. They preform like the engineers spent more time on the look than on the internal design. And I do not recommend you use that idiotic “Yeti” condenser USB mic. We recommend a dynamic USB mic, though FeenPhone will work even better with a dynamic mic through a mixer, especially if you can add a bit of compression on the mixer.Ī condenser mic will work, but will pick up too much room noise. FeenPhone will work with a cheap gaming headset, but if you really want stellar broadcast-quality sound, you need to use a good mic. You should use a decent dynamic cardioid-pattern mic with FeenPhone. That mic on a stand ( get THIS one) near your mouth, a foam windscreen on your mic (get those HERE), some blankets hung up to deaden audio reflections (or more-permanent sound conditioning), a pair of closed-ear headphones, and FeenPhone enable you to do ultra-high-quality live radio shows, Internet radio shows, podcasts and voiceover across the miles…Even if your co-host, producer or customer is in a different country. We designed FeenPhone specifically with the AT2005USB (and similar high-quality low-price cardioid dynamic USB mics) in mind. When it’s fully installed, you can click in your system tray (you may have to click “show hidden icons”), click on the Install icon, and you should see something like this: Make sure the drivers install or you’ll get echo/latency/bad sound/no sound. This can take up to three or four minutes, but will only happen the first time. The first time you hook the AT2005USB into your computer via USB, you’ll have to let it automatically download and install drivers. It’s also plug-and-play so it doesn’t require an external USB interface. Those mics are loud and clear, has a great pickup pattern for spoken audio, rejects some ambient background noise, rejects most sound behind the mic, and even has a tiny bit of built-in compression to reduce peaks and give a smoother sound. The FeenPhone team just really loves this mic) (FeenPhone is not associated with Audio-Technica, and there is no partnership implied between FeenPhone and Audio-Technica. Our rendering of the Audio-Technica AT2005USB mic. It’s an odd cable, most won’t work, this one will and is better than the original: (After about a year, the USB cable for the mic will wear out. Or if you can only spend 40 dollars on a mic, get the Knox. (Or this mic is almost as good and is 25 dollars cheaper AND comes with headphones!) (If you already have headphones, the cheapest good FeenPhone mic is this: $39.99: Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB Microphone.) ![]() We have done extensive on-air tests with many microphones and recommend the $72 Audio-Technica AT2005USB (Get it here on Amazon).
