For VoIP, Podcasts, Streaming & More    For Mac & Windows Computers    Professional 96 kHz / 24-Bit Audio    Cardioid Pattern for Clearer Voice    Powered from Computers    Integrated Pop Filter & Shockmount    Included USB Cable

Whether you're podcasting, streaming, conferencing over VoIP, or recording voice-overs, the mic will come in handy

The mic will work out of the box with Mac and Windows operating systems. The included USB cable ensures you'll get up and running right away.

The microphone makes use of a directional cardioid polar pattern to minimize off-axis sound. This polar pattern naturally, yet effectively tamps down room tone and focuses the audio capture on what's directly in front of the mic, so everyone can clearly hear your voice.

The mic records audio at 96 kHz / 24-bit, which the recording industry often considers to be high resolution. You'll be able to capture audio with the same specifications the pros enjoy.

The mic offers an internal shockmount to minimize handling noise. You'll be able to position it without incurring much noise while streaming or broadcasting. The pop filter will protect against plosives and p-pops, so you won't cause horrible distortion when you say words like "plosives" or "p-pops."
