For ease, you might want a Shure MV7. It's a good directional cardiod with a built in USB interface.[1]
Get the mic close, disable auto mic level in zoom, and set the gain on the mic to be loud enough only while youre speaking.

- Arelius 5y agoOk, just picked up the MV7. It's a bit better than my AT2020. But I find that in order to get my Gain down low enough so that my partner isn't too distracting, I have to be right on the Mic. Which isn't a very attractive look over video....
- dundercoder 5y agoYou may have already done this, but in case if not. The pickup pattern is going to be mostly right in front of the mic, with the best rejection from the rear. Keep in mind the mic will also pick up reflections if there is a wall close behind you. So ideally you’d sit in front of the mic with no wall or a wall at an oblique angle behind you, and your wife across the room directly behind the mic.
- Arelius 5y agoThanks, our setup is pretty close to that, I got it setup with an XLR interface and I was able to tweak it a bit better still. Turns out we're moving to a new home, so I anticipate this issue will get solved with walls and doors in the future.
