Mackie EM-99B: A Broadcast Voice, Straight Out of the Box
The Mackie EM-99B is a cardioid dynamic broadcast microphone tuned to capture the detail and warmth of the spoken word for podcasting, live streaming, and dialogue recording. Its dynamic capsule, internal shock suspension, and built-in pop filter work together to deliver that rich, up-close radio sound while shrugging off the bumps and plosives of a real desk. Bundled with a weighted desktop stand, it arrives ready to record the moment you open the box - the microphone that makes a home setup sound like a broadcast booth.
Why a Dynamic Capsule Wins for Voice
The EM-99B uses a dynamic element rather than a condenser, and for spoken-word work that is a feature, not a compromise. A dynamic capsule is far less sensitive to background noise, room reflections, and air-conditioning hum, so it captures your voice and largely ignores the untreated room around it. Its frequency response is deliberately shaped from 50 Hz to 16 kHz for dialogue - full and warm in the low-mids, clear and intelligible up top - which is exactly why broadcasters have trusted this style of mic for decades. Best of all, a dynamic needs no phantom power to run.
Quiet by Design: Suspension and Pop Filter Built In
Two internal features do the work that add-on accessories usually handle. A single-axis suspension floats the capsule so keyboard taps, desk knocks, and boom-arm vibration are absorbed before they reach the recording. Behind the grille, an internal foam pop filter tames the blasts of air from hard "P" and "B" sounds that otherwise thump a microphone. Add the included foam windscreen for outdoor or close-talking work, and the EM-99B stays clean and consistent without a cage of external gear cluttering your shot.
Rugged Metal Build and Simple XLR Connection
The EM-99B is wrapped in an all-metal Built-Like-a-Tank body with a robust mount engineered to survive daily studio life. It connects over a standard balanced XLR cable to any audio interface, mixer, or podcast console, and because it is passive it works with virtually any preamp - just add gain. That simplicity makes it a natural centerpiece for a Mackie DLZ Creator or M-Caster streaming setup, or any interface you already own.
Ready to Record on Day One
Unlike most broadcast mics, the EM-99B includes a high-quality weighted desktop stand, so there is no scramble for a boom arm before your first session. Set it on the desk, plug in the XLR, dial up gain, and you are on the air. For creators who want a professional voice without assembling a pile of accessories, that out-of-the-box completeness is the whole point.
Who the EM-99B Is For
Podcasters, streamers, YouTubers, and voice-over artists who want a warm, noise-rejecting broadcast voice reach for the EM-99B. If a sensitive condenser has been picking up too much of your room, this dynamic broadcast mic - with its built-in suspension, pop filter, and included desktop stand - is the focused, plug-and-play upgrade that keeps the attention on your voice.
