What is a USB Condenser Microphone?
The primary type of microphone
used in recording studios and radio
stations, condenser microphones are
the ideal choice for capturing vocals and
acoustic instruments. Unlike a dynamic
microphone, a condenser microphone
collects sound from throughout an
environment such as a room, rather
than only picking up what’s happening
directly in front of it. It is capable of much
capturing much more detail with wider,
 atter frequency response.
Trouble is, conventional condenser
microphones aren’t made to interface
with a computer — you have to provide
a microphone preampli er and an
analog-to-USB interface.
But the C-1U has a built-in USB interface
that derives the needed power directly
from your computer’s USB input and
requires no special drivers. Just plug in and
start recording your masterpiece!
Does Awesome Sound Come Any Easier?
The short answer is no. Unlike most
other USB microphones, you won’t need to
download any additional drivers to begin
using the C-1U right out of the box—it even
works with Vista!
You also get an extensive software
package with Audacity for recording,
Kristal Audio Engine for editing and
multitracking, Podi er uploading software
