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 capturing much more detail with wider, flatter frequency response. Trouble is, conventional condenser microphones aren’t made to Interface with a Computer — you have to provide a microphone preamplifier and an analog-to-USB interface. But the C-1U has a built-in USB interface that derives the needed power directly from you computer's USB Input and requires no special drivers. Just plug in and start recording your masterpiece!
