[kwlug-disc] Recommendations on Podcasting equipment?

[Charles McColm]

It's unlikely for most, but one thing worth mentioning about the unit below is that it doesn't have "Phantom Power" that some microphones need (the Shure KSM/27 for example). The average podcasting mic doesn't need phantom power, but there are a number of mics out there (normally for recording musical instruments) that need a phantom power button/switch.

I have not actually tried this myself, but ...

I've been shopping for multiple output USB audio (for use with windows), but it appears that the Behringer U-Phoria interfaces work with current linux, and they seem reasonably cost-effective and reasonable quality.

e.g. 2 in, 2 out:

which seems to be around $100 CAD
    https://www.amazon.ca/Behringer-UMC202HD-Interface-Microphone-Preamplifiers/dp/B00SAV0VP0/

They also have a 4in 4 out version.

Here's notes on linux use:

Hope that's helpful!
