Andy built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 12, when IDE cables were a thing and high resolution wasn't. After spending over 15 years in the production industry overseeing a variety of live and recorded projects, he started writing his own PC hardware blog for a year in the hope that people might send him things. Sometimes they did.
A good microphone is, to me at least, a criminally underrated bit of kit. After all, a great mic is the difference between sounding fantastic on your next podcast, stream or meeting—or sounding like you're trapped down a drainpipe with several angry cats.used to be somewhat expensive affairs, with XLR mixers and cables a plenty needed to get a great sound. No longer! You can now pick up a great, easy to use microphone for extremely reasonable money.
There are some concessions made to budget, of course. There's no dedicated mute button, and the cable is rather frustratingly a Razer proprietary model, meaning you'll have to buy one off Razer if it breaks. But otherwise, this microphone is practically the definition of cheap and cheerful. The Ngenuity software that comes with is unfortunately a bit basic, but it gets the job done. The best thing about this mic, though is that it picks up vocal audio brilliantly, with quite a lot of volume. You can tweak that down with the gain controls, and you'll probably want to so you don't overpower other people in a meeting, but let it not be said that this mic is shy.
Oh, about that. You'll need a boom arm, or a desk stand, as for some reason Shure doesn't provide one as standard. Beyond that though, this mic is simply exceptional at what it does, and sounds truly brilliant. A bit plosive prone in front of loud speakers, perhaps. Otherwise, virtually flawless. Don't just take my word for it either.
