Being bus-powered, it eliminates the hassle of external power supplies, and the status LED indicates when the microphone is operational, giving you peace of mind in professional settings.

From podcasting to voice-over work and corporate videos, this versatile microphone excels in numerous applications requiring simple yet high-quality sound capture. It even works as an iPad microphone with the right connectivity options, making it ideal for recording music or sound on the go.
