Polsen MC-POD Dynamic Podcast/Broadcast Microphone
If you record your voice for podcasts, voice-overs, or broadcasts, consider the Polsen MC-POD, an ideal microphone for the task at hand. This dynamic microphone requires no power to run and offers a cardioid polar pattern to better minimize off-axis background noise.
Want to get a deep, rich tone out of your voice? No problem—just lean in to the mic and use the proximity effect to your advantage. Because the mic offers an end-address design and an integrated windscreen, you can get as close as you want, ensuring a full capture without risking plosives or harsh sibilance. The mic also provides a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response to ensure the full range of your voice is recorded every time.
An internal shockmount isolates the mic from vibrations and handling noise, further bolstering the design. Within the mic itself, advanced shielding is utilized to protect the signal from electro-magnetic interference, which is common in untreated rooms. With this mic, you don't need to worry about structural borne vibrations or EMI. All you need to do is plug it in and get to work.
This microphone is part of the B&H Virtual Mic Locker, an online tool to help our valued customers determine the sonic differences between popular microphones for podcasting and voice over work. Each microphone was recorded using a Grace Design M103 preamp into a Presonus Quantum 2626 interface.
Podcast, Broadcast, and Voiceover
The MC-POD is an ideal microphone for podcasts, broadcasts, and voice-overs. Its intuitive design, easy setup, and durability mean you can use it at a moment's notice. If there's breaking news, or an event to discuss with your audience, just connect the MC-POD to your recorder, video camera, or mixing console, and you're ready to go to work.
Professional Sound Anywhere
All the features of the MC-POD ensure broadcast-quality sound, whether you're recording in a studio or home office. Ease of use and professional sound will make the MC-POD your go-to microphone for any speech or podcast application.
Tailored for Speech
Capturing the character of your voice counts for a lot in podcasting and voiceovers. With high sensitivity and wide frequency response, the MC-POD is tailored to capture the character and nuances of your voice so your audience will hear you with all your personality.
End-Address Design
The closer you get to the microphone, the deeper and richer your voice will sound. This proximity effect is what makes the pros sound so good, and the end-address design of the MC-POD lets you get close to the microphone so you can sound like a pro too.
Dynamic Microphone
The MC-POD doesn't require batteries or phantom power to operate. Just plug it in, set your levels, and go to work.
XLR Output
The MC-POD's balanced XLR output ensures unwanted static or hum from interference won't compromise your signal and bring your project to a halt.
Advanced Shielding
Hum from electromagnetic interference (EMI) can occur when you record or broadcast from an untreated room. To minimize the interference that can cause a constant buzz or hum in your audio, the MC-POD is designed with advanced internal shielding that protects it against EMI.
Cardioid Polar Pattern
The cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sound, focusing the sound directly in front of the capsule. That's a great feature when you're speaking from a location with some background noise, as the MC-POD will reject extraneous sound and focus on your voice.
Integrated Windscreen and Pop Filter
The MC-POD is designed with an internal windscreen and pop filter, so you can move close to the microphone without worrying your audience will hear distracting breath noise or those plosives.
Minimize Noise
Internal shockmounting protects the capsule from handling noise or vibrations from the desk or mic stand that can compromise your audio. You'll be able to move or reposition your mic—or even accidentally bump the desktop—without the telltale clatter of handling noise.
Integrated Mount
The rugged, all-metal mount has a standard 5/8-27 socket that's compatible with most mic stands or mic boom arms. It's also equipped with dual locking knobs for easy angle adjustment and a secure hold once the mic is in perfect position. The swivel capacity of this mount means you can position the MC-POD so it's never blocking your view of your guests or interviewees.

Auray BA-XE4 Broadcast Arm with Integrated XLR Cable
Outfit your home or pro studio with the Auray BA-XE4, a sturdy, two-section broacast boom arm that supports broadcast-style microphones up to 3.5 lb. With its integrated 10' XLR cable and virtually noiseless operation, this boom arm will come in handy for podcasting or radio-style broadcasting.
The BA-XE4 sports a spring design engineered to provide maximal support to microphones. It provides plenty of range for positioning. Use the standard 5/8"-27 mic mount to acommodate most shockmounts and mic clips, and reposition the angle of the mount at will. When you've got it just right, you can lock it in place with the locking knob.
In addition to the included XLR cable, the BA-XE4 ships with two types of clamps. Use the C-clamp for temporary installations, or use the tabletop flange mount for a permanent installation on a broadcast station or podium.
Lightweight Steel Construction
The BA-XE4's steel construction makes it a sturdy, reliable, and durable studio accessory.
Support Mics up to 3.5 lb
This sturdy broadcast arm can support mics up to 3.5 pounds, which is plenty of strength to hold a Rode Podcaster, or the Senal SCM-660 and a shockmount.
Integrated XLR Cable
A 10' XLR mic cable is integrated into the arm to minimize cable clutter, so you don't have to go through the hassle of threading and weaving a cable through the arm. This makes mic setup and attachment fast and easy.
Smooth, Noise-Free Operation
The arm is designed to move noiselessly and minimize handling noise when you're readjusting the mic or swiveling it over to another person. Repositioning the microphone will not interrupt or compromise your audio.
5/8-27 Threaded Microphone Mount
The industry-standard 5/8-27 threaded microphone mount is compatible with most shockmounts and microphone clips.
Wide Range of Motion
An extension of up to 38" and the ability to rotate the arm 360° allow for precise microphone placement. And once you've put your mic in an optimal position, you can be sure it stays there, because the ergonomic locking knobs give you plenty of torque to tighten and fix the mic's position.
Mounting Options
The BA-XE4 broadcast arm comes with options of convenient temporary mounting or more permanent installation. The included C-clamp is for temporary and movable fastening to a desktop or workstation. The flange mount screws into a flat surface for permanent installation on a broadcast station or podium.
Compatible Products
The BA-XE4 will work with nearly any broadcast-style microphone weighing up to 3.5 lb. It is especially compatible with microphones such as the Senal SC-550X Professional Cardioid Condenser Microphone, the UB-440 Professional USB Microphone, and the SCM-660 Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone. You can also use the PCR-65 Cardioid Condenser Microphone, RM-650 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, RM-800 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone, and more.

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.
Mobile

Over-Ear Design
The over-ear design isolates sound in loud environments and prevents leakage for optimum listening conditions. This design is good for listening to music on a busy street, and for DJs who need to monitor their audio in a noisy club.
DJ Applications
The headphones are suitable for DJ applications and include a tuned bass response for low-end clarity. The pivoting earcups are ideal for one-ear or on-the-shoulder monitoring. A padded headband offers to keep you comfortable during a lengthy session.
Broadcast and Podcast
The headphones allow for monitoring audio on a laptop or in a home studio as well as recording a vlog on a smartphone.
Swiveling and Rotating Earcups
If you're a DJ who likes to keep one ear free, you can swivel one of the earcups for on-the-shoulder monitoring. The earcups also rotate 90° so you can turn one of the earcup outward for one-ear handheld monitoring.
10' Cable
A headphone cable that's too short is almost like sitting on the sidelines—you can't be part of the action. If you need to move around while you work, the 10' cable will allow you to move about freely.
