Then again, it would make more sense to just bump the price to $199, add a mic stand and some other goofy accessories and call it a "Professional Podcast Kit"]]>Aug 27th 2007 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/centrances-micport-pro-makes-your-podcasting-dreams-come-true/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/centrances-micport-pro-makes-your-podcasting-dreams-come-true/http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1904]]>Aug 27th 2007 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/centrances-micport-pro-makes-your-podcasting-dreams-come-true/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/centrances-micport-pro-makes-your-podcasting-dreams-come-true/

If it was my $150 I would get a cheap condenser mic, sound card, and mixer.

I've never been much for USB sound interfaces because of latency and generally inferior preamps, although this does monitor through the unit which might help the latency.]]>Aug 27th 2007 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/centrances-micport-pro-makes-your-podcasting-dreams-come-true/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/centrances-micport-pro-makes-your-podcasting-dreams-come-true/Aug 27th 2007 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/centrances-micport-pro-makes-your-podcasting-dreams-come-true/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/27/centrances-micport-pro-makes-your-podcasting-dreams-come-true/

And to Jibbajabba: podcasting, netcasting whatevah. Apple doesn't care if you use podcasting as a general term. What they have a problem with is calling a commercial product an "anything-Pod." it means the same thing: a downloaded audio enclosure in an RSS feed. It is not however, the same thing as streaming audio.

MicPort strikes me as interesting if you have, say, a Shure SM-58 that you want to use to get audio in. That is, you have a mic with specific audio qualities that you want to use to capture. In the case, this is a useful little bit of kit. If you just want a make to make your PODCAST, there are better options.
