Key Considerations
Microphone type & pickup: back electret condenser, cardioid pattern — good on-axis voice capture with side/rear rejection.
Connectivity & workflow: USB output (plug-and-play) — no external interface required for basic computer recording.
Included hardware: robust steel articulating boom arm with dual suspension springs, desk clamp and mounting ring; USB cable included — truly a kit.
Specs to check: frequency response 20–17,000 Hz, sensitivity ≈ −34 dB, self-noise ~16 dBA, max SPL 132 dB — reasonable performance for home studios.
The Pod Pack 1 uses a back-electret condenser element with a cardioid polar pattern, meaning it captures sound best from the front while rejecting sounds from the sides and rear. That makes it well suited to single-presenter podcasting and streaming where the goal is clear, present vocals with reduced room pickup — though as a condenser it will still be more room-sensitive than a dynamic mic.

Customer Reviews
Ich war auf der Suche nach einem neuen ordentlichen Mikrofon für meine Gamingsessions. Das Mikrofon an meinem Wireless Headset hat den Geist aufgegeben, aber das Headset selbst funktioniert noch einwandfrei.Das Mikrofon fiel mir aus Produktvorschlag bei meiner Suche auf und für den Preis von 35 Euro habe ich es einfach mal bestellt.
Als erstes ist zu sagen dass die Produktbilder nicht hundertprozentig richtig sind. Die Sängerin besingt das Mikrofon von der Rückseite. die Niere ist nach vorn ausgerichtet, dass man beim Besprechen bzw. Singen das Nierencharakteristika-Symbol sieht.
