The Gear: Shure SM57A Beta MicrophoneThis week's review is on the Shure SM57A beta Microphone.

The Shure SM57A Beta is a dynamic mic for vocals and instruments. Its a second generation microphone (hence, Beta) from Shure. As with all dynamic mic, this doesn't require Phantom Power. The down side is that you can't hook this up directly to your PC sound card - you'll need an additional DI (Direct Input) box or Pre-amp to connect to you PC. These devices usually come with audio jacks that could hook up to your sound card - plus it also boosts the signal strength for a decent recording level.

Episode 2 of our weekly review of on all things related to podcast production - audio hardware, software or websites.

I've been asked many questions about the low sound quality of the first Episode. That's because, for every episode, i'll try to use the equipment that i'm reviewing to do the recording - as such last week's was done with the Panasonic Voice Recorder. I hope that in doing so you will get a sense of how the end-product will sound like.

Today my review's on the Logitech Premium USB Headset 350. Enjoy!
