The Relacart PM2 is a cardioid dynamic podcasting microphone designed for both beginners and professionals. It combines USB plug-and-play convenience with XLR studio connectivity, making it suitable for podcasting, streaming, recording, and broadcasting. It uses electromagnetic induction technology to deliver a natural, full-bodied sound, while minimizing background noise—ideal for voice-focused applications. Core Features Dual Connectivity: Includes both XLR for professional mixers/interfaces and USB-C for direct plug-and-play use with computers (Windows/Mac) and mobile devices (iOS/Android). Built-in DSP: When used via USB, the internal processor allows for real-time adjustments of gain, mute, equalization (EQ), compression, and limiting. Touch Panel Control: A sliding touch interface on the mic body lets you adjust microphone gain, headphone volume, and monitor mixing, or quickly mute the device. Triple Protection Technology: Combines a sturdy metal bracket, internal noise reduction algorithms, and the “Relacart Miaudio” app to isolate vocals and minimize background hum. Zero-Latency Monitoring: A 3.5mm headphone jack on the back allows you to hear your voice in real time without delay. Technical Specifications Feature Specification Capsule Type Dynamic Polar Pattern Cardioid (Unidirectional) Frequency Response 80Hz – 14kHz Max SPL 132dB Resolution 24-bit / 48kHz Gain Range 0 to 35dB Output Impedance 600 Ω Weight 695g Export to Sheets Comparison: Relacart PM2 vs. Shure MV7 While the Shure MV7 is the industry standard for this form factor, the PM2 offers a very similar feature set at a lower price point: Design: Both feature a “broadcast” aesthetic with integrated yoke mounts. Software: Both utilize a dedicated app (Relacart Miaudio vs. Shure Motiv) to unlock “Auto Level” modes and custom EQ presets. Sound Profile: The PM2 is known for a “thick and full” sound typical of dynamic mics, though it has a slightly narrower frequency range (up to 14kHz) compared to the MV7 (up to 16kHz), which might result in a slightly warmer, less “airy” top end. Best Use Cases Podcasting: Excellent at rejecting room echo and keyboard clicks. Gaming/Streaming: The USB mode and touch-mute make it very convenient for live setups. Home Studios: The XLR output allows it to grow with you if you eventually upgrade to a dedicated audio interface or mixer. Category: Microphone
