Robert Brill here. I get complimented several times a month on the quality of my sound on Zoom meetings. The general feedback is the sound is clear, noticeably better than everyone else on the call, and even the mic looks impressive.
This will be especially valuable if you plan on getting on podcasts as a guest speaker, which is a great way to expand your network, reach new audiences, improve search engine optimization (SEO), and close new deals.
So, if you want that same podcast quality sound on your Zoom meetings, check out the details of the equipment needed to make that happen.
Great Sound

This is the defacto mic used for podcasters, musicians, and entertainment industry pros.

CloudFilter
This little device adds an additional level of clarity and crispness to your sound.

Blue Mic Arm
There are cheaper alternatives. I tried one, and couldn’t figure it out. Get this one. It is easy to use and it looks great.

Bi-Directional USBC Switch (Optional)
Now that you have a great mic, you may want to use it to create TikTok or IG Reels videos with your smartphone. Use this switching device to switch your mic from connecting to your computer to connecting to your iPhone. Your iPhone will record audio from the Shure SM7B, rather than your iPhone’s mic when the switch is pressed.

Lighting

I’ve had other lighting kits, but this is so easy to use, I have to recommend it. Great lighting. It turns on and off with a remote.

Use this simple stand to connect your iPhone to your computer, and use the iPhone as a camera for a crisper visual experience for your viewers.
