One Person MOBILE Interview Package - Premium Version
This setup is for recording interviews on location, with future proof flexibility for in-studio use as well.
The focus is on being able to record high quality interviews on location, with minimum fuss and complexity.
The recording technique used for using this gear is the same one that Alex Blumberg uses (Formerly of NPR, CEO of Gimlet Media). We've written extensively about the techniques used for this, and will add links to these articles shortly.
At the time of this writing, the package comes in around $480.

These microphones are Dynamic mics. As such these reject background noise and are perfect for on location recordings, even in noisy environments. Specialized Microphone for Voice Reproduction to Maximize Clarity, Reduce Plosives, Wind Noise, & Limit Low-frequency Noise.
The long handle makes them great for mobile interviews, and when paired with a digital recorder such as the Zoom H2n, H4n, H5n or H6n, they create the perfect on location interview kit.

I recommend using a short XLR cable to connect the interview mic to the digital recorder, which allows you to walk around with a belt clip for your digital recorder.

Zoom H6 Six-Track Portable Recorder
This is one of the best and most flexible audio recording tools out there. I recommend this primarily because it makes for a future proof investment. It can be used in a range of situations inside the studio or out on the road.
The H6 It has powerful and clean pre-amps, which alleviate the most common complaint about Dynamic Mics having a weak signal output level. These amps are plenty strong to get decent recording levels.
