Nothing super professional, want to get into podcasting.

Audio in general interests me.

Oh cool, if you want to get into podcasting I would recommend you go XLR first

because my rationale was if I get a phantom power system I can upgrade the mic as far as I want

but the same box will always power it to its full capacity

with a USB mic all you can do is completely replace the mic

Yeah that's a problem, I see.

But the thing is, it's a steep front up investment.

I'm a student

Should say it all

not really, bm-800 + phantom power + arm from ebay comes to not much

kek i startedmy channel while unemployed mang

all my shit was bought with what I had left from unemployment bennies

That's why I started with talking about the BM-800, then you talked me into the Superlux.

Oh it was just something that I had on my desk

I should have asked what your project was

Hahaha

All good mate.

So back to the BM-800 I guess.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-NW-700-Condenser-Microphone-Kit/dp/B0743BTD1Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1504556444&sr=8-4&keywords=phantom+power

this is a good kit as an example

but you can find the same shit on ebay

I used the offer price function to haggle the price on every piece

That seems way too cheap though.

nah that's roughly what I had at the start

the second BM-800 video I move to the phantom power box I think

I see. But I just don't want to upgrade it quickly because I'm not satisfied.

nah I'm still using the bm-800 because no one seems to mind

even in the podcasts

I feel no reason to upgrade yet

I did move to a focusrite for more control though

like if my levels are peaking it flashes red

I have yet to hear your podcasts, but the amazon kit you sent is not with BM-800 though

and I can quickly turn a knob to adjust it

BM-700 is the exact same

just go for whichever is cheaper

Oh, it saw NW-700, I was confused.

yeah they have companies license out the design, it goes under lots of names

same thing in the box

Neewer bm-800

so NW
