Bundled by B&H for your convenience, this Focusrite Scarlett Solo Podcasting Kit includes almost everything you need to get started podcasting. First, the kit provides the Scarlett Solo USB interface, which gives you an input for your microphone, and offers a pro-quality preamp and signal path for a pristine sound. In fact, Generation 3 of the Scarlett Series gives you an ISA Air setting that lifts the trebles a bit to add brightness and clarity. Use this setting if your voice is sounding a bit on the dull side.
Next, you'll note the Rode PodMic, which is a front-address vocal mic tailor-made for the spoken word. As such, it's suitable for podcasting and broadcasting. Its polar pattern is focused and helps you avoid recording extraneous room noise. An internal pop filter reduces plosives.
The included two-section broadcast arm clamps to your desk to make positioning mics a snap. The arm's integrated XLR cable plugs right into the interface.
This kit also gives you a pair of over-ear, headphones. Use these headphones to monitor your voice while ensuring there's no bleed from your headphones into the mic, thanks to their closed-back construction.
With the interface, microphone, the broadcast arm, and the cable and the headphones, you'll have almost everything you need to get started crafting a podcast. All you need to bring to the table is your own computer and a bright idea for your podcast.
