Bundled together by B&H for your convenience, this Polsen PCR-65 Mic Broadcaster Kit with Suspension Arm, Headphones & Cable is ideal for an aspiring broadcaster or podcaster who already has a recording device or a computer and a compatible audio interface capable of supplying the 12 to 48V required to power the mic.
The kit gives you the Polsen PCR-65 cardioid condenser mic with shockmount, a broadcast arm for positioning, an XLR mic cable, and a pair of closed-back headphones for monitoring.
The PCR-65 from Polsen is a cardioid condenser microphone designed for full-range reproduction of vocals and instruments in podcasts, recording studios, and broadcast environments. Its side-address, pressure-gradient design utilizes a large 1" diaphragm with a cardioid polar pattern, which minimizes the pickup of off-axis sounds and impedes feedback. The microphone boasts a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, allowing it to accurately transduce the frequencies of a variety of sounds. Its high sensitivity and 125 dB maximum SPL ensure that you can use it on quiet or loud sources, from whispered vocals to pounding drums.
The PCR-65 has a sturdy, metal housing with an alloy finish. The supplied custom shockmount decouples the mic from vibrations and rumble that would otherwise transfer from the floor to the mic. Use the desktop tripod stand for convenient tabletop placement during interviews and podcasts. Phantom power (12 to 52 VDC) is required.
The MCrane1 Microphone Suspension Crane Arm from Musicians Value is a spring-loaded suspension arm that can support a microphone with a shockmount/holder, and a microphone pop filter. The MCrane1 arm can be used in several environments for voiceover, podcast, and radio or DJ applications. A deskmount clamp is included that allows the arm to swivel for smooth and precise positioning. In addition, it is forward and backward adjustable and height adjustable. The mounting thread size is 3/8".
The HPC-A30-MK2 Closed-Back Studio Monitor Headphones from Polsen offer a solution for experiencing rich and natural sound when listening to music through a mobile device or monitoring a podcast on your computer. These headphones can also be used for DJ work, thanks to the swiveling earcups that let you monitor audio while keeping one ear free.
The HPC-A30-MK2's over-ear design isolates the sound and prevents leakage for optimum listening conditions in loud environments, such as a club or on the go. The 10' cable also gives you the freedom to move around while working and terminates in a 3.5mm TRS stereo plug, which is compatible with most mobile devices and computers. In addition, a stereo 1/4" adapter is included to plug into a stereo or mixing board.
The Pearstone PM Series XLR M to XLR F Professional Microphone Cable (10') features 24-gauge oxygen-free copper conductors, spiral shielding to protect against EMI and RFI noise, and professional grade cast-zinc Rean connectors with silver-plated contacts. The twin conductive PVC shield reduces electrostatic noise, and distinguishes the PM series from the rest of its class.
