The condenser capsule delivers a tailored-for-speech frequency response of 75 Hz to 20 kHz, and utilizes a cardioid polar pattern to provide focused sound pickup with reduced ambience.

In addition to the USB Type-C male plug for connecting to your recording device, the SmartMic+ UC has a 3.5mm TRS headphone port, allowing you to monitor audio without having to disconnect the mic.
