Podcasting Recording Bundle With Mixer, Headphones, Mic, Boom Arm

This bundle gives a solo podcaster a complete recording chain: a Soundcraft Notepad-5 mixer, a Rockville RCM PRO condenser microphone, a pair of Rockville PRO-M50 studio headphones, and a Rockville DMS40 40-inch boom arm. The Notepad-5 runs a single mic/line combo input through a Soundcraft mic preamp, with Hi-Z switching for guitars and true phantom power for the condenser mic, plus a built-in USB interface that sums with the RCA input to record straight to a Mac or PC. The RCM PRO uses a 25mm cartridge and large diaphragm for a clean, natural sound, backed by Samsung capacitors that keep the signal stable through volume swings, and a zinc metal body with a one-piece steel head to resist shock and handling noise. A metal shock mount and wind screen come included, along with both an XLR cable for the mixer and a 3.5mm cable for connecting straight to a computer. The DMS40 boom arm clamps to the desk and extends 20 plus 20 inches, letting the mic sit exactly at mouth level without a stand taking up table space. PRO-M50 headphones round out the setup with 40mm neodymium drivers in a closed-back design for accurate, isolated monitoring while recording. From mic to mixer to monitor, this bundle covers everything a solo host needs to launch a podcast.
