Inexpensive mic for meetings in open area

bill5 🎙️ · 28th February 2019

Tried searching but didn't find...looking for an inexpensive mic for work; we have about a 15'x15' area outside of someone's office where we gather for updates. People generally stand around in a sort of semi-circle so an omni is likely best. I'm not up on boundary mics and all, maybe that? Considerations:

- inexpensive (not set $ but I'd say offhand under $200 at least)
- USB for easy plug into laptop
- picks up sound well, general quality - not much background noise to worry about

Edit: based on my limited knowledge, I'm thinking about the Blue Yeti, which has the added bonus of being multi-pattern.

Blue Yeti I guess if you're looking for USB. Maybe the Samson Go as well, because it's significantly cheaper and also has an omni feature. The Samson G Track Pro is another decent option for a USB mic (should be under $200 and probably much better than the other two I mentioned though I doubt it's that important).

Thanks - not sure the Go mic would have enough gain though-?
