Deity VO-7U Microphone All Metal Dynamic Microphone Condenser Microphone for Podcasting, Recording, Live Streaming, Gaming Built-in 3.5mm Monitor Interface (with Microphone Boom Arm)

Product Information

For mounting the microphone, the VO-7U has a two-stage threaded receiver to work with mic stand mounts with differing diameters. The super-cardioid and dynamic features allow the VO-7U to better shield background or room noise, allowing listeners to hear only their own voice.

As soon as you apply more than 50% gain to the VO-7U, the built-in hardware analog limiter kicks in to help prevent you from clipping on your stream or in your podcast. The Type-C interface can be easily connected to various mainstream devices (mobile phones, tablets, computers). Built to last, the VO-7U is constructed with a durable all-metal body and features a floating friction pivot for precise positioning. The Deity VO-7U USB Podcast Mic has a 24-bit depth and a sampling rate of up to 48kHz, which allows for high-quality recording of audio. Filming YouTube vlogs using your mobile device and getting premium audio is easy for creators at every experience level.

Featuring a USB connection, this mic connects directly to the computer without needing an external audio interface or mixer. The arm can easily stand over a standard 27” monitor, or can comfortably sit on the side of a wide desk and reach to the middle. Just getting into producing YouTube videos , I wanted to invest in upgrading my audio/desk space set up. The Deity had a deep sound to it, but the HyperX was maybe a bit more clear thanks to that focused mid-range.

The VO-7U uses a supercardioid dynamic microphone capsule, making it the best podcast mic and streaming mic for untreated bedrooms or gaming stations. When it is stretched out to nearly its max the stand will start to dip a little bit because of the weight on the end of the boom arm, but this does seem a little excessive to me and I can’t imagine many setups would require that stretch. A word of advice for those new to these types of mics: the gain knob is very useful but also annoying if you don’t know how to compensate. From what I gather, condenser mics can be plugged into a computer or camera directly without the need for an audio interface.I just received the microphone the other day and haven’t yet played around with it, but once I do I will update this review further. The capsule offers a 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response and can handle loud SPL levels up to 135 dB; the mic gain is adjustable and there's even a built-in analog limiter to prevent audio clipping.
