The USB12 is the perfect desktop microphone for teleconferencing, podcasting and remote communication. This condenser microphone connects directly into a computer’s USB port to naturally capture and reproduce vocals and instruments in stunning detail. Vocal clarity, excellent transient response, and ease of operation are the hallmarks of this unique microphone solution. The USB12 is characterized with a uniformly controlled cardioid polar pattern and provides excellent isolation and control, which greatly reduces excess room sound. With a smooth and accurate response over a frequency range of 50 Hz - 16 kHz, the USB12 sits on top of a stable desktop base and can be easily adjusted to any position, thanks to the flexible gooseneck design. This high definition condenser microphone features a membrane button with three options: “on-off”, “push to talk” or “push to mute” along with a blue LED to signal activity. The USB12 also features a 3.5 mm headphone/monitor output for real time monitoring and a bass roll-off filter to control unwanted low frequency signals.
