The only one place the item is available is Amazon cuz they are trying to charge a 2.5x higher rip-off price. I checked a dozen different websites and even made direct phone calls to retailers to confirm it's all back ordered. The Yeti X mic is literally sold out everywhere. Though It doesn't provide enough gain by itself for the the really gain hungry mics like the Shure SM7B or the EV RE20. If your open to the interface that will let you use most XLR mics both dynamic and condenser. Plug in the mic, plug the interface into your laptop and twiddle the gain knob till the recording software is showing around -12db. Something like the Scarlett Solo at $110. You might try and find one done by someone with a voice similar to yours.īTW you don't need a mixer to use an XLR mic with your laptop just an audio interface. Also comparisons between Blue, Audio Technica, and Rode (3 of the more popular brands of USB podcaster mics). There are lot's of YouTube video's on the Blue mic's. Before the pandemic you could go into Guitar Center and they usually had between 10 and 12 mic's setup that you could listen to through a set of headphones. For Podcasts you want a mic that compliments your voice.
Even an inexpensive wired lav would be decent. Almost any mic would be better for a zoom meeting than the mic in your laptop.
