MC-POD
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING
POLSEN.
The Polsen MC-POD is an ideal microphone for
podcasts, voiceovers, and broadcasts, whether
you’re recording at home or in a studio.
This microphone’s features are tailored for the
voice, right down to the end-address design
that lets you get close to the mic for a warm
and rich vocal sound. A wide frequency
response assures that all the character and
nuance of your voice is captured in accurate
detail. For pristine audio, an internal shock
mount isolates the mic from handling noise and
vibrations, and the built-in pop filter protects
against unwanted vocal plosives. The cardioid
polar pattern focuses the microphone on the
sound in front of it while it rejects unwanted
off-axis noise. The integrated mount is
compatible with most microphone stands and
mic boom arms, and it allows you to adjust the
microphone to the perfect angle for your setup.
