blucoilMXL BCD-1 Dynamic Mic for Live Broadcasts, Podcasting, Vocal Recording Bundle with Microphone Windscreen, Boom Arm Plus Pop Filter, and 10-FT Balanced XLR Cable

I am using this on my Zoom calls, meetings, YouTube, etc. I use it because I have a ‘studio’ (desk) set up in my garage. I have 6 boys doing school-at-home and have a lot of meetings on Zoom at this time. People listening don’t hear the background noise ... my boys or even the neighbor using the weed-trimmer 20 feet from my house!On my last call, someone messaged me after and said, “Seriously, you sound like you were in a radio studio. Very full, deep sound. But very clear.”So glad I didn’t spend the extra $350 on other recommended mics.

This is a fantastic little kit for beginners or podcasters. If you want a professional broadcast microphone, get the RE320 or the RE20.First, the microphone, which delivers rich, clean audio. I plugged the RE320 in side by side with this microphone, and I felt I got as good slightly more rich sound from the RE320. This is a very solid mic, though. And if you're just playing around, you may not notice much difference between the two mics (MXL BCD-1 vs. RE320).I hated how the P's "popped" on this microphone, and I eventually am returning them and buying RE320s. These mics are just not in the same league.After searching around for the best price, I determined Amazon’s $150 price for this kit was best, as most outlets have the mic, alone, for $150.The windscreen is nice. I hate the version you clip on to your mic, but that’s personal preference.These mics are like mini RE20 or RE320 with lesser quality.Compared to the RE320:Frequency Response:MXL: 40 Hz-15kHzRE320: 30 Hz-18kHzRE20: 45Hz-18kHzOutput Impedance:MXL: 600 ohmsRE20 and RE320: 150 ohmsWeight: 1.25 (MXL) vs. 1.5 (RE320) vs. 1.62 (RE20)These are high impedance mics. They are not considered professional quality. And they aren’t.The mic arm is junk and has limited function. I used some of the parts but tossed them aside and bought different stands. The XLR cables are solid. The mic screen is so-so (you're still going to "pop" your Ps).If this was at all helpful, please hit the button.

Using this to broadcast via Mixlr. The mic, shield, and arm came together. The arm is the biggest disappointment. Small, lightweight, and not nearly strong enough to use as indicated. Had to use my own mic stand that happened to have the same threads. If I could return the arm itself, I would. The mic and shield are fine.

Disappointing sound quality for it’s price and similar competitors of more well-known models and brands. Particularly annoyed to find out $50 more for it just being black; color did not matter to me. Returned and opted for better quality microphone.

This mic is used nationally by studio broadcasters and is an easy fit for most interfaces. The bundle option makes the cost cheaper than buying the kit piece-by-piece.

I love my equipment because it exceeded my expectations. I’m going to buy this product again!

I'm enjoying the mic, sound quality is great, the kit was easy to set up.

Great mic for podcasters.
