Focusrite Vocaster DM14v Dynamic Cardioid XLR Podcasting Microphone

Made for podcasting, streaming, gaming, the Focusrite Vocaster DM14v is an XLR broadcast microphone tuned for capturing a rich voice tone that connects with your audience. The mic features a dynamic capsule and a cardioid pickup pattern designed to give you more of your voice and less of your room noise.

The built-in windshield reduces plosives known as "pops" and the internal shockmount ensures rumble-free recording. A yoke mount allows for precise positioning of the mic when mounted on a boom arm. The Vocaster DM14v comes with an XLR cable for connecting to an audio interface or mixer. Conveniently, the dynamic capsule doesn't require a battery or phantom power.

This microphone is part of the Fotohaus Klinger 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.

• The DM14v offers a voice-centered 50 Hz to 16 kHz frequency response, shaving off extreme high frequencies and effectively mitigating unnecessary lows that can muddy up the sound.

• The DM14v is an excellent fit for recording in untreated home and project studios without a lot of isolation because the less-sensitive dynamic capsule picks up fewer unwanted sounds and room reflections from further away, and more of the person speaking closely into the mic.
• Conveniently, the dynamic capsule doesn’t require a battery or phantom power.
• In addition, the cardioid polar pattern focuses audio capture in the area in front of the capsule, picking up less sound from the rear and sides.
