I am very excited about the Podcaster microphone. The German service was impeccable. Since the microphone has built the electronics, I am independent of the quality of the sound card on my computer and can use the microphone to any of my computers and have always the same, good quality. Even though I sometimes deliberately in front of the microphone in this hineinpusste (Puh-puh), one hears nothing about it. This undesirable effect is completely filtered out. Regarding microphone I'm more a layman, although technically savvy. I use it for dubbing my videos that I make of my vacation photos. A pity, I find that I have not found a way to use it as an external microphone for my video camera. There is seemingly no thought.
