In particular, this is our particular selection of gifts for sound lovers who want or have already started their own project of podasts.
Perfect gifts for the creative
Finding the perfect Christmas gift is not always easy. Even so, if the person you are going to give away likes technology, everything becomes a little easier. Because it will not be for gadgets or other devices that always come in handy and, especially, if you have creative concerns and have been saying that a new project will start all 2019. Although, they can also serve to improve the one that already gave life this year that ends.
Samson Q2U
Possibly one of the most all-terrain microphones that exists, thanks to its dynamic and cardioid pattern, it is able to pick up quality audio and avoid the surrounding external noise. With the option to connect via XLR and USB connection – with built-in audio output – it is a safe bet at a very attractive price.
