Ideal For Podcasting?

| | Comments (2) | TrackBacks (0)

Here's an ad for a new microphone that I found in the US edition of Future Music. It's a condensor mike, with a USB cord. I guess it gets it's power from USB, but as condensor mike's usually need 48V of power, I wonder how this will affect your USB hub.

USB Condensor Mike

From their website:

Seamless integration was the idea, and it was obtained by creating a studio condenser microphone that can be plugged into any computer with no in/out boxes, no expensive computer pre-amps, just a USB cable.

I guess the mike has it's own preamp inside, but I can't see any discussion of latency on their site. Has anyone tried this? It could be great for a mobile/laptop scenario.

That's weird i was about to mention that in my podcast after reading a review, tbh it's a good solution instead of carrying around all the gear and you pretty much record there and then without having to setup all the bits.

Only thing i noticed from this review below that i did'nt like was that it recorded in mono.

I have that mic, and it works well for me. Still getting use to it though, and still learnign gain and EQ settings and stuff in Garageband... neat stuff.
