You've probably experienced dropouts, feedback, and poor audio quality with your computer's internal microphone, and at the worst possible moments. The US-OB-33 adds reliable CD-quality sound to your video meetings for you and any participants sitting around the microphone.
The microphone features an omnidirectional polar pattern that uniformly picks up sound 360 degrees around the microphone. You can sit comfortably at your desk, look around if you like, and not focus on speaking directly into the microphone. Set it in the center of a table, and all participants seated around it will be clearly heard.
US-OB-33 has an internal A/D converter so no additional audio gear, like an A/D interface, is necessary to use the mic. It boasts 16-bit / 48 kHz digital resolution for accurate, CD-quality sound.
Plug the US-OB-33 into an available USB port on your desktop or laptop computer, and you're ready to go. You won't need to wait for software to download in order to use the microphone.
The US-OB-33 is bus powered, so just use the included cable to plug the microphone into a powered USB port on your computer, select the mic in your audio settings, and it's connected and ready to go. No extra power cables or batteries are needed.
Nothing matches the confusion of not knowing if the microphone is muted. A red LED indicator lets you know that the microphone is muted so you can have a side conversation or clear your throat without interrupting a conference or meeting.
This boundary mic's durable metal construction is made for repeated use in demanding conference room and office environments. It's also solid enough to take with you when you're on the go, and it will withstand bumps when you pack it into your computer case.
