The new Podcast Pro from Sontronics was one of the many things we looked forward to seeing after the winter NAMM show. Now at the beginning of March 2020, we are starting to see that new gear and we now have one for testing. In a Production Expert exclusive, Technical Editor James Ivey takes a look at this new dynamic microphone and puts it through its audio paces. 
The new Sontronics Podcast Pro.
 The new Sontronics Podcast Pro is an end-fire dynamic microphone with a super-cardioid pick-up pattern designed primarily for spoken word applications such as voiceover, gaming and not surprisingly given the name, podcasting. However, long gone are the days when technicians in lab coats dictated what a mic was to be used on so as you might expect we have been trying the Podcast Pro on a number of non-vocal applications.   The Sontronics Podcast Pro is an end fire dynamic microphone.
 Less Need For A Pop Shield
 The Podcast Pro has been designed with speed and ease of set up in mind. To that end, the mic has been preinstalled with layers of foam and tight woven metallic mesh of different thicknesses and densities. The result of all this extra mass is that you may not need to use a pop screen or filter with the new Podcast Pro. In most cases the pops and plosives don’t make it through the protective layers, even when you get up close for that very tight intimate sound.  Being a dynamic mic the Podcast Pro does not require 48v phantom power. 

Design
 The Sontronics Podcast Pro follows the classic design of yoke microphones, which have become very popular for podcasting and other voice applications.  The mic is available in anodised red or black, has no switches or controls, just a solid XLR output on the bottom and two side thumbscrews to secure the angle of the yoke. It can be attached to a conventional UK or US threaded mic stand using the provided thread adaptor.  The Podcast Pro along with the majority of the Sontronics range of microphones are manufactured by hand in the UK. A real living breathing person has made sure that every Podcast Pro that leaves the Sontronics facility down in Poole in Dorset is tested and meets the highest standards. 
Audio Testing
 In the past year at Production Expert, we have put in place a series of standard tests that all new microphones go through. These included recording acoustic guitar, distorted electric guitar, spoken word, male rock vocal and snare drum top.  Take a listen to the audio files below to hear how the Sontronics Podcast Pro sounds.  Check out the video above to see how the instruments and voice were recorded.  As always in our tests, no EQ or tonal processing has been applied to the audio examples so what you heari is exactly what the mic hears.
