Even at this price, this is still a difficult mic to recommend. People have just kept recommending this mic without actually looking across the price point.
A better spoken word mic would be the Mackie EM-91C for the same price: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B083MXSC7Z/
I use this mic for vocals as well as YouTube videos and audio calls. It's a really good microphone, I have the same XLR variant as well. This is a good deal for a high quality condenser microphone.
What connectivity do you need? can you connect to PC via USB for Zoom calls for clearer audio?
You will need some sort of audio interface with an XLR input. I used an older model of this interface for years and had no complaints, but I know some people prefer other brands.
Thanks @Muurky, will a simple XLR to USB cable do the job to use it as a straight up MIC for Zoom Calls?
Unfortunately it wont work - this microphone requires phantom power so a simple XLR to USB cable wont work. An XLR to USB setup that has phantom power seems to run you around $30-$40 online but I haven't done the research outside of a quick google just now.
You would be better off searching for a mic that uses USB if you are looking for a simpler/possibly cheaper solution. IMO something like a Blue Yeti (doesnt have to be this particular model though) when on sale is a good place to start.
@Muurky: thanks
Have a look at Razer Siren X and mini deals posted here. Both of these are simple USB plug and play microphones.
It's interesting. It said additional 20% off at checkout but end up the discount is ~35%.
