![]() ![]() So instead of buying something like the Elevation Lab Anchor Side, the Deity VO-7U has a holder built-in. On the bottom of the boom arm base is also a handy place to hand a pair of headphones. When it is stretched out to nearly its max the stand will start to dip a little bit because of the weight on the end of the boom arm, but this does seem a little excessive to me and I can’t imagine many setups would require that stretch. The arm can easily stand over a standard 27” monitor, or can comfortably sit on the side of a wide desk and reach to the middle. It doesn’t seem as robust as what the Rode PSA-1 would be, but it’s also only a $30 upgrade.ĭespite being on the cheaper feeling end, it has a large design that lends itself well to a variety of placement points. Purchasing just a boom arm by itself from Amazon can be as cheap as about $16 for one like what I’ve been using for the last two years, or $40 for something more similar to what is included in the Deity kit. What makes the kit stand out to me is the inclusion of a boom arm. The kit comes with both a USB-C and USB-A cable to work with different devices.įor mounting the microphone, the VO-7U has a two-stage threaded receiver to work with mic stand mounts with differing diameters. On the bottom of the mic is a 3.5mm headphone out and the USB-C port to connect to your recording device. There are 12 lighting modes in total that range from static colors to an RGB rainbow and breathing effects. ![]() Once the lighting is turned on, a single press of the gain dial will change the current RGB setting. This is hardware controlled so there is no need for an app to control the lighting. Pressing in the dial for a few seconds will enable the RGB lighting ring on the bottom of the microphone. On the other side of the mic is a microphone gain dial. On one side of the microphone is a headphone out volume dial with hard stops. Muting the microphone will make the RGB strip at the bottom flash red as a reminder that it is muted. I imagine this helps to prevent accidental muting, but I was a little surprised by how far I needed to press the button. It’s not as easy to actuate as a capacitive button on the top of a mic like the QuadCast and SoloCast from HyperX, but it takes a little bit more force than what I anticipated. Under the main Deity logo is a mute button. The microphone itself has a large overall design with some handy physical controls directly on the body. We got our hands on the boom arm kit, which for just $30 more would probably be the kit I would pick anyways. For $200, the mic comes with a boom arm, pop filter, and cables. For $170, you get the microphone, tabletop tripod, and two cables. The Deity VO-7U is available in two different kits. It also features built-in RGB, physical controls for the mic gain and headphone out, and a built-in limiter to help prevent clipping. The Deity VO-7U is a dynamic microphone that is generally better at knocking down background and room noise when compared to condenser designs. Deity has a rich heritage of professional audio, so it makes sense to see it stepping into this new space.
