Podcasting Equipment

I've received a few emails asking what equipment I use to create my podcasts.  Like many podcasters, I have a limited budget form which to buy equipment, so the key as you may have read is not to buy more equipment than you need.  This applies to both quantity and quality.  Remember, if you are recording a spoken word podcast, you only need to record in mono and there are several inexpensive digital recorders that will support all of your needs.  Here is a list of equipment I use to create my podcasts.

Behringer C-1 Microphone

 

Spider-style Shock Mount For Samson Microphone

This spider shock mount was designed for the USB Sampson microphone, but since it appears that the Sampson USB Microphone uses the same body as the Behringer C-1 microphone (as well as others on the market) this mount fits perfectly.  At the bottom of the C-1 pictured above, you can see a black circular piece (nut).  This is replaced in the shock mount by the silver colored nut.  Pictured below is the Samson microphone in the shock mount.  The C-1 fits the shock mount in the same manner.
