We’ve even included a USB cable & swivel mic st& mount, so just plug it into your computer & start recording!

What is a USB Condenser Microphone

The primary type of microphone used in recording studios & radio stations, condenser microphones are the ideal choice for capturing vocals & acoustic instruments. Unlike a dynamic microphone, a condenser microphone collects sound from throughout an environment such as a room, rather than only picking up what’s happening directly in front of it. It is capable of capturing much more detail with a wider, flatter frequency response. But conventional condenser microphones aren’t designed to interface with a computer – you also have to provide a microphone preamplifier & an analog-to-USB interface. The C-1U features a built-in USB interface that derives the needed power directly from your computer’s USB input & requires no special drivers. Just plug in & start recording your masterpiece!

Sound That Astounds!

The incredible C-1U has an exceptionally-fl at frequency response & pristine sonic resolution that ensures content-rich audio that is as natural sounding as the original source. The cardioid pickup pattern provides unparalleled sound source separation & feedback rejection. Thanks to its ultralow noise, transformerless FET input circuitry the C-1U can h&le extreme dynamics, all the way up to 136 dB, with ruler-fl at frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz. Which brings us to software...
