If you're a podcaster on the go, you'll dig Blue Mic's latest offering: the Spark Digital ($200). It's the first studio-quality audio microphone built for the iPad. Price seem a little steep for an iPad mic? The good news is you can hook Spark Digital up to your computer as well with both USB and iPad connection cables. The condenser mic is great for all kinds of situations — from recording instruments to vocals — and features a headphone-out port so you can monitor your levels during recording sessions.

This sleek mic comes with a desk stand, USB and iPad cables, along with a six-month SoundCloud Pro account.

Macworld 2010: Professional Sounds For Your DIY Recordings

I'm an admitted fan of Blue Microphones, not only for their power, but also for their beauty — a few of these stacked on your mantel could totally double as art.

I'm an admitted fan of Blue Microphones, not only for their power, but also for their beauty — a few of these stacked on your mantel could totally double as art. While cruising the Macworld show floor, I got an up close look at a few of their new desktop mic models which would be perfect for recording on the go, or creating your podcasts and video blogs. The Snowflake (pictured here) ($45) is a high quality mic to capture your recordings, but there's also a 2MP web cam-enabled version called the Eyeball ($65). Both of these are easy as pie to set up — just plug them right into your Mac or PC's USB port, follow a few prompts, and you're set to go.

The Mikey ($100) is a sweet little microphone to capture sounds right on your iPhone. Record concerts, lectures, and studio jam sessions on the go with its three recording levels — from loud to quiet — and transfer the audio right to your computer with a USB adapter. Plus, there's a free app that partners up with your Mikey to get the most out of your recordings. Check out a few more photos of the beautiful Blue Mics in the gallery below.
