Now, if you are screaming directly into the microphone with your mouth pressed up against the pop filter, some distortion will still transfer into your audio. But it’s not the heinous digital clipping that would destroy a listener’s ears.

Around the bottom of the Deity VO-7U is an LED RGB ring. By using a combination of Short and Long presses you can adjust the colour profile and the brightness and this isn’t immediately apparent. For mounting the microphone, the VO-7U has a two-stage threaded receiver to work with mic stand mounts with differing diameters. Deity VO-7U: The Stand On the bottom of the boom arm base is also a handy place to hand a pair of headphones. So instead of buying something like the Elevation Lab Anchor Side, the Deity VO-7U has a holder built-in. Deity VO-7U: How does it sound? Despite being on the cheaper feeling end, it has a large design that lends itself well to a variety of placement points. The arm can easily stand over a standard 27” monitor, or can comfortably sit on the side of a wide desk and reach to the middle.But when I went and recorded with the HyperX SoloCast that I’ve been using forever, the SoloCast had a bit more mid-range presence in my opinion.

I’ve been creating content now for over three years and it’s been an amazing journey. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is to prioritise Audio over Video.

This is hardware controlled so there is no need for an app to control the lighting. Once the lighting is turned on, a single press of the gain dial will change the current RGB setting. There are 12 lighting modes in total that range from static colors to an RGB rainbow and breathing effects. I’ve been using the Blue Yeti mic pretty much since I started and it’s been a great ride. I’ve tried many mics as possible replacements including the Elgato Wave:3 and the Marantz MPM-4000U but none of them provided anything more than I already have other than a few software bells and whistles that I didn’t really need. The issue however, is these are all condenser mics and were specifically designed for quiet environments like sound booths.
