Today, have a listen to the AKG Perception 100 as we mount it on the boom. The Perception 100 is a relatively inexpensive ($99.95 street price) large diaphram condenser microphone.
The side-firing 100 has a nicely rounded sound. Being an LDC, it has plenty of output but wasn’t overly sensitive or boomy. Inside [...]
We just couldn’t wait for 139, so here it is! Today, we chat with Gary from BSW
This is an amazing tool and I have only heard about it from Gary. For the first time, Podcasters and other New Media pioneers have access to an affordable, professional broadcast mixer.
Take away the recording features and [...]
On PME 137, we chat a little about the difference between recording and broadcasting.

From the unassuming name and look of this device, it could easily be overlooked.
Switched audio and muting is a broadcast feature that I truly miss while using recording style mixers. [...]
Welcome! PME 134 features the Alesis Multimix 12 Firewire audio mixer.
First; look and feel. I like to call this the “out-of-box” experience. The power supply is a brick with a locking screw-on connector for power. The faders and knobs felt a bit more fragile than the Yamaha. The overall [...]
It’s Friday!
Welcome to PME 133 as we take a bit deeper look at the very popular Zoom H4 with Gary from BSW.
Gary discusses a few of the finer points that Laura and I didn’t touch on as we were eating and drinking our way around the Food & Wine Festival at Disney with the H4.
Have [...]
The Rode Podcaster is coming to Studio1A …very soon

USB microphones are a hot topic and a hot commodity for Podcasting.
Just last week, we did a USB mic shootout between two Samson offerings and the Blue Snowball.
This show, we talk about a few new offerings. [...]
