Focusrite Vocaster DM14v Dynamic Cardioid XLR Podcasting Microphone

The Focusrite Vocaster DM14v is an XLR broadcast microphone designed for podcasting, streaming, and gaming. It is set to capture a rich vocal tone that engages your audience. The dynamic capsule and cardioid pickup pattern of the mic are intended to give you more of your voice and less of the background noise in the room.

The integrated shockmount assures noise-free recording, and the built-in windscreen suppresses plosives known as “pops.” When installed on a boom arm, a yoke mount enables precise mic positioning. An XLR cable is included with the Vocaster DM14v for attaching to an audio interface or mixer. Conveniently, the dynamic capsule doesn’t need phantom power or a battery.

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.
