The Monday edition of PodSqod takes a look at the HHB Flashmic, distributed in the US by Sennheiser. This is a great tool for Podcasting, interviews and general field work. The Flashmic is essentially a high-quality stage-type condenser with a built-in 1GB flash recorder and headphone monitor. The base of the mic [...]
In the spirit of the season, we pit mic against mic in a grueling not-so-scary comparison of the Samson dynamic [Q1U], the new Samson condenser [C03U] and the unique Blue Snowball. The common bond between all of these are that they are inexpensive USB microphones. …no mixers allowed
Each of these mics were easily [...]
Welcome! This Friday, Gary and I discuss a rather unique pro-audio mixer kit that BSW has put together. Not meant to be strictly for Podcasting, this little package packs a lot of portable power. Speaking of power, the mixer is battery powered (2- 9 volt batteries) or runs on AC for maximum [...]
Laura and I take a trip around the World [showcase] at Epcot and sample great food & wine.
Join us as Laura records in real time and provides a sample of just what the Zoom can do with its built-in stereo mics in an X-Y configuration.
Street Price: $299
It’s Friday! …and the 13th
No need for worry as this is not a scary show. Today, Gary and I discuss a very interesting line-level compressor-limiter, the TC Electronic C300.
This piece is very moderately priced and I hope to get one in-studio, so that you can ‘hear’ this 2-channel model do its job.
Have a [...]
On todays show, Laura and I explore the world of “tube emulation.” More specifically we try the MXL Silicon Valve V6 and the mysterious V12 large diaphram condenser microphones. We also throw into the mix, my Neumann TLM49, which itself emulates the warm sound of days past.
And; just to tip the scales, [...]
* A “Previously Unaired” show from last week. The real-world test of the Zoom H4 is coming!
It’s mid-week already. Todays show revolves around the very nice Digi-Design MBox2 Pro. This hardware/software ProTools LE solution positions itself above the MBox2, but isn’t quite a 002 interface. You can also get the Factory [...]
Friday is here! This show skips a number for an intended purpose.
Today; Gary from BSW talks about the minidisc format. Hi-MD is a great portable recording platform, especially for archival purposes. We discuss the brand new MZM200. …it’s features and merits
Also, I break the news that Studio1A has 1 of [...]
The Heil PR-40 is now available at BSW!
After a loong flight back from the Podcast Expo in California, PodSqod is back on the air!
Join Laura and myself as we discuss the Expo. The good, bad, equipment and much more.
Pull up a chair for this mornings chat.
Best,
MarkJensen & Laura
