What is a USB
Condenser Microphone
The primary type of microphone used
in recording studios and radio stations,
condenser microphones are the ideal choice
for capturing vocals and 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,  atter frequency response.
But conventional condenser microphones
aren’t designed to interface with a computer
– you also have to provide a microphone
preampli er and 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 and requires no special drivers. Just plug in and start recording
your masterpiece!
