The røde podmic dynamic podcasting microphonefrom røde podmic dynamic podcasting microphoneis an equalizer plug-in featuring seven, variable-slope, resonance-less dynamic filters that can do common tasks such as de-essing, ducking, compression, expansion, in addition to equalization.

A: They will sound clean and are a very good option for that price point with the kit

Q: 2. Will this fit on the Shure SM7B? What's the inside diameter of the clamp while it is tightened?

A: The On-Stage Pop Blocker for Rode PodMic Microphone (Version 2), B&H # ONPBPMJBHV2, will not fit a Shure SM7B microphone. Use the recommended ISOVOX ISOPOP BroadCast Pop Filter for Broadcast Microphones (Midnight Black), B&H # ISOPOPB.

Q: 3. Does this kit now include a tripod extension?

A: No, it does not.

Q: 4. would this work with the blue yeti mic and stand? if not any suggestions on a small pop screen that will work with it?

A: The On-Stage Pop Blocker is not compatible with the Blue Yeti. You would want to use something more like the Auray PFMU-12 to be able to do that.

Q: 8. if im doing interview type podcasts, will i need 2 of these mics?

Q: 9. I've read that 'dynamic' mics work best when the sound source (voice or instrument) is close to the mic -- say six-eigth inches for example; but their sound pickup range falls off quickly as you move much further away from the mic (which has the advantage of reducing background noise). Is this true for this mic?

A: That is true for dynamic mics in general. Some dynamic mics are more sensitive than others. This one in particular requires the source of sound to be just a few inches away. Probably closer to around 3-4 inches or so. The polar pattern also will determine how far off axis the source of the sound can be until the sound drops out. This Samson Q2U is a cardioid pickup pattern which is about 120 degrees around.

Q: 10. Does this microphone require phantom power or batteries?

A: This is a dynaminc microphone and requires no phantom power or batteries. When using it as a USB mic it will receive bus power.
