USB Recording Format
USB + XLR
Microphone Connection
Start on USB, expand with XLR
Record directly to a compatible computer over USB, or connect to an audio interface or mixer through XLR. Both outputs can be used at the same time.
Keep your voice in focus
The cardioid dynamic capsule emphasizes sound in front of the microphone and reduces pickup from the sides and rear. Choose a comfortable speaking position, then check the selected input and recording level in the application before beginning the session.
Monitor without delay
Plug headphones into the 3.5 mm output and adjust their level on the microphone. The on/off switch controls both USB and XLR audio.
A useful desktop package
The included tripod, extension and microphone clip support desk placement. The foam windscreen helps control breath noise, with USB and XLR cables supplied. Choose a comfortable speaking position, then check the selected input and recording level in the application before beginning the session.
Select the Recording Format for Your Session
The USB recording format is Up to 16-bit / 44.1 or 48 kHz. Choose a supported setting in the host and recording application, checking firmware requirements where stated. Leave enough input headroom for changes in speaking level rather than treating format resolution as protection against every overload.
Match the Connection to the Recording Setup
USB supplies a direct computer recording route, while XLR connects to a separate microphone preamp, interface or mixer. Choose the route needed by the setup and set gain on the device that handles that route, rather than assuming USB controls configure every external interface.
Complete Your Workspace
Explore microphones, microphone accessories for your setup. Suggested products are sold separately. Compare each microphone alternative’s capsule, pickup patterns, connection modes, software and included support before choosing; a microphone-only model does not automatically include the arm or stand supplied with a different kit. Beyerdynamic and Audio-Technica headphones are alternative listening choices, with Elgato controls and Pulsar or ARTISAN products for a compatible computer desk. Choose any microphone arm separately for the exact thread and the total microphone-and-mount weight. Use a microphone headphone output only where that model provides one; otherwise choose a suitable computer or interface listening output. USB-only microphones do not plug into an XLR microphone preamp. A separate audio interface or mixer is needed when using the XLR output; match its gain and recording settings to that route.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this microphone connect?
Use USB for direct recording to a supported computer, or connect the XLR output to a separate microphone preamp, audio interface or mixer. The USB recording format does not specify the capture settings of an external XLR interface.
Which pickup patterns are available?
Cardioid. Choose the pattern and speaking position for the session. Directional pickup does not remove every room sound; distance, gain and placement still matter.
Which recording format should I select?
Up to 16-bit / 44.1 or 48 kHz. Use a supported host, firmware and recording application setting. A maximum USB format does not by itself promise unclippable recording or eliminate the need to set levels.
How can I monitor my recording?
3.5 mm; zero-latency monitoring. Use the supported headphone output and controls to check your signal, separately from the microphone input gain.
What mounting or supplied-item details should I check?
Mic clip, desktop tripod, tripod extension, foam windscreen, USB cable and XLR cable. Match any separate support to the exact thread, microphone and mount weight, and desk clearance.
