Recommended Podcasting Equipment

When it comes to podcasting, you don’t need to drop thousands of dollars on equipment. While you can, it’s not necessary and most people can’t tell the difference.

It is also silly to drop so much money on your podcast equipment when 80% of your guest show up with nothing more than a standard headset.

So with that being said, here are our podcast equipment recommendations.

For Virtual Interviews / Solo Recording:

Audio Technica - ATR 2100 USB - This simple microphone will hook into your computer via USB and provide high-quality sound with minimal equipment. Included in the package is a desktop microphone stand. This is our recommended microphone for virtual interviews or solo recording.

For Conferences / Live events:

The budget friendly and simple choice for conferences:

Dual Lav Microphone - This microphone enables you to record directly into the audio jack on your cell phone with two separate channels for you and your guest. This is our budget friendly and simple way to record podcasts at live events.

The high-end and expensive option for conferences:

If you want to go high-quality at conferences then you would need to purchase the following.

(2) Audio Technica - ATR 2100 USB - This is the same microphone recommended for solo episodes
(1) Zoom H5 Portable Recorder - This enables you to record two high-quality handheld microphones at the same time in a live event setting.
