Recording Condenser Podcasting Podcast Microphone+Mic Boom Arm

This podcasting bundle puts the RCM03 aluminum condenser microphone on the DMS40 40-inch boom arm with a desk clamp, a setup that gets the mic right at your mouth and folds it away between episodes. The boom arm clamps to desks up to 2 inches thick, extends 40 inches through two 20-inch segments, and holds the mic at any angle thanks to internal springs that bear the weight quietly. No desk drilling, no permanent mounts, just clamp and record.

The RCM03 uses a 16mm electret condenser diaphragm in a cardioid polar pattern, capturing speech with a natural warmth that does not sound processed or colored. A 74 dB signal-to-noise ratio and a noise floor under 18 dBA mean your voice comes through clean even in a room that is not acoustically treated. The cardioid pattern focuses on sound from the front and pushes room reflections, HVAC noise, and background chatter aside. The aluminum body with a steel basket sits in the included metal shock mount, which absorbs table vibrations from typing, coffee cups, or co-hosts bumping the desk. Two 10-foot copper cables let you connect the mic to a computer sound card through a 3.5mm-to-XLR for simple one-mic recording, or route through a mixer with 48V phantom power via XLR-to-XLR when you need more control over levels and EQ. A metal anti-wind cap handles close-mic breath noise.
