BOYA Desktop Gooseneck Condenser Microphone 18" Podium Microphones with Base LED Indicator XLR Mic for Meetings Video Conferences Streaming Lectures BY-GM18CB

This works really well for classroom environments. We use it for Sunday school class and connect it to a Presonus which connects to a laptop for live streaming.

Works very well with phantom power

Well-made product; good frequency response.Two things that are not obvious in the description: There is an obnoxious and unnecessary little light at the top of the shaft (easy to cure with black electrical tape); and the shaft only flexes at the top and bottom. It is a solid rod in the middle.

It just never worked, tested many times, other mics work, this one is just garbage, the problem is, I tested it months after purchased it. So, surprise, I cannot be refunded...Please dont buy!! I feel scammed.

I have used Shure gooseneck mic before. I needed additional one and I did not wanted to spend new higher price of Shure gooseneck that I had bought previously. I am glad I bough this one because sound quality is equal if not better.My only complaint is it says 18" long but when I compared side by side with Shure 18" gooseneck it was longer at least by 2 to 3 inch if not more. So, I am not sure how BOYA measures 18" ?I love the On/Off switch on my model with light indicator; which my Shure does not have. It's an excellent troubleshooting feature to know if mic is getting power or not and the fact that mic is on.I highly recommend this product but make sure to get the correct model, GM18CB There is another model, GM18C; which one of my friend bought and I tried it out and it does not work well. That model had blue color neck just before end of mic.One minor issue I noticed when one specific individual talks there is follow up base hissing sound. Not sure why that is happening. But, same mic another individual uses to lecture and it works perfect.

Simple- Excellent. Wanted an easy to use, flexible, high quality sound mic with a solid base for use on different podiums and the BOYA delivered on all fronts. The condenser mic is one of the very best I've ever used, and I've used a lot. Can't beat it at this price point! I bought and tested several in this price range and this one was hands down the best. It breaks down and stores in its' box easily / nicely. Battery life is good, but be sure to always carry extras! It will not slip off podiums. It has a simple lighted on-off button. I have run with various PA speakers and it works great. I waited to write this review for 6 months and all is still excellent. In fact I think after seeing it in action a number of other people have purchased as well.

I originally was going to order a more well known brand for sure, but unexpectedly happy with the quality and features of the Boya gooseneck microphone with base. Switch on bottom of bass allows for multiple setup features. Quality of audio is very good. Definitely worth a try if you are considering a gooseneck mic

This mic as nice tone and picks up a person speaking well. The problem I have is that the base is not isolated well. Anything hitting the podium or table that it is sitting on will be picked up by the mic. So I always put foam underneath it to help dampen the noise for the surface it is sitting on.It also has a problem with picking up "P" pops. The foam mic cover does not stop them. I am trying to come up with a solution for that problem. The "P" pops are worse in the speakers than they are in the recording, but you can still hear them.
