The entire microphone is mounted to a bracketed arm that allows
you to rotate it around the horizontal axis at the base, plus two
articulated points about which to adjust the height and level of the
microphone itself.
It feels sturdy, has a nice metallic feel with a hefty weight that is
reassuring, true professional quality in every aspect.
We can safely say that the Beecaster is the most versatile, awesome
sounding, GORGEOUS microphones on the market at a price that is
sure to tempt many.
Whether you are a Podcaster, Youtuber, Streamer or Musician, the
Beecaster has you covered.
It is available from around £225 or $349 depending on your area,
which lets be honest is not A LOT in the grand scheme of things, especially in the area of professional recording equipment.
PS: I forgot to mention, you get a kick ass mascot Bee figure to put on your desk!
The quality of the sound this microphone can record is set 24bit 96kHz which is rated for high quality audio applications.
This comes with a fantastic Signal to Noise ratio of 98dB-A, which essentially means you will not have any digital noise in the mix to degrade the quality.
I have used the microphone for Skype calls, streaming on Twitch and various other applications, it has not disappointed me once. The audio is as flawless as you can imagine.
It captures crisp highs, bassy lows and a nice mid range that makes the entire recording sound very natural to the ears.
In terms of usability, it’s an easy operation to get going, plug it in via the USB cable provided, let the drivers install and boom, you are ready to go.
The overall layout of the Beecaster is extremely polished
The 3 knobs on the front (which have sexy yellow light up rings), control the recording pattern, the mic gain adjustment and the dedicated headphone volume for the built-in headphone monitoring.
Having a built in headphone amplifier enables you to live monitor your recording on the fly, super handy. This is a brilliant feature for podcasters.
You also have access to a dedicated mute button, good for times you have to suddenly cut off your microphone or you want to mute it while you record off another linked input.
It has a nice strong red LED that lights up the MUTE writing when it is engaged, snazzy.
