What customers say about "Features"
Samson C01U Pro USB Studio Condenser Microphone
- The headphone output provides a good level of sound.
- Plug and play, no problem.
- Wide frequency response and good sound (for speech anyway, which is what I'm recording).
- The sound is amazing, extremely natural. Headphone output is great for monitoring your tracks.
- The supercardioid pickup pattern excludes room noise pretty well just make sure it's facing right at your mouth or you'll lose level pretty fast.
Blue Yeti USB Mic for Recording & Streaming on PC and Mac
- Simple to use and records great sound. I use it to record podcasts and the multiple recording patterns are a godsend. I love this mic.
- There are manual switches for both gain and recording patterns - stereo, omni, cardioid, and bi-directional.
- It’s a very sensitive microphone, it picks up a lot of low and mid frequencies.
- It also features a 3.5mm standard audio jack port which allows you to plug in earphones to get real time monitoring. I really like it.
- Amount of background noise and static detracts from what should be professional quality.
