BOYA Desktop Gooseneck Condenser Microphone 18" Podium Microphones with Base LED Indicator XLR Mic for Meetings Video Conferences Streaming Lectures BY-GM18CB

Simple- Excellent. Wanted an easy to use, flexible, high quality sound mic with a solid base for use on different podiums and the BOYA delivered on all fronts. The condenser mic is one of the very best I've ever used, and I've used a lot. Can't beat it at this price point! I bought and tested several in this price range and this one was hands down the best. It breaks down and stores in its' box easily / nicely. Battery life is good, but be sure to always carry extras! It will not slip off podiums. It has a simple lighted on-off button. I have run with various PA speakers and it works great. I waited to write this review for 6 months and all is still excellent. In fact I think after seeing it in action a number of other people have purchased as well.

The wind socks are incredibly finicky and pop off at the slightest touch. Speaker grabs the microphone to move it close to their mouth, off goes the wind sock. Put them in the case after the show, off goes the wind sock. Look at it funny from 10 feet across the room, off goes the wind sock. Finally, we secured them with a small drop of glue, and bought spare windsocks by the dozen. Other than that, pretty good mic, sound quality isn’t on par with a Shure, or a Sennheiser, but you can’t beat the price. They can be pretty Poppy when activating or deactivating as they must have cheap shielding around the phantom power.

El Micrófono a funcionado muy Bien y en Relación Calidad-Precio estoy más que satisfecho, lo usamos para ponerlo en una Iglesia y se oye de maravilla.

Build quality is reasonable, although one of the units I purchased had a faulty LED ring around the capsule. The neck and base were robust and the socket and switch seemed to be of good quality. The signal to noise ratio was poorer than anticipated which makes this a non-starter for recording or PA use. It may be acceptable in a video conference setting.

I originally was going to order a more well known brand for sure, but unexpectedly happy with the quality and features of the Boya gooseneck microphone with base. Switch on bottom of bass allows for multiple setup features. Quality of audio is very good. Definitely worth a try if you are considering a gooseneck mic
