Setup
Shure SM7B
The podcaster's standard microphone. It's unpowered, so you'll need a small amp to get the best out of it.

Elgato Wave Arm MK2
I love the Elgato Wave Arm because it's built well and makes it easy to move around. Great for pulling the mic towards you when you need it and pushing it away when you don't. It attaches to the edge of the desk with a sturdy mount, so I never have to worry about it moving. There is a cable management system built into the arm itself.

Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 (57")
I have to say, I love this display. Gone are the days of having two screens side by side with a bezel in the middle. This display allows for multiple inputs, can operate as one full display at 7680x2160, two side by side displays at 4k or even 2 displays split at a 2:3 ratio!

Focusrite Scarlett 2i2
A perfect little mixer for recording. Both hardware and software controlled, with features for powered and unpowered, noise cut-off and gain adjustment.

Logitech MX Master 3
This is my go to standard mouse because it's so comfortable. I rarely use all the extra buttons, but they are there! The scroll wheel can switch between notched or free scrolling, and the additional buttons can be programmed for other uses.

Logitech MX Keys
A very comfortable keyboard, low noise, but sturdy and heavy. I love the weight because it means that it doesn't slide around and stays where I want it!

SteelSeries Arctis Pro
I use these headphones for comfort. I can wear them for hours. The Arctis Pro comes with a mixer which lets you swap the output from your headphones to your speakers which means you don't have to fuss around changing audio outputs in your PC. It also includes separate audio channels for chat and game sounds - great for Discord voice.
