What is a USB Condenser Microphone?
-----------------------------------
The primary type of microphone used in 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 a 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.
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 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 ,
Kristal Audio Engine for editing and multitracking, Podifier
uploading software and PodNova downloading software. It works
like this: Connect the mic to your PC or Mac. Load Audacity and
save your onto your hard drive. Now load the included
Kristal software and you can edit your or add tracks.
Now you're ready to upload your work onto the Web via Podifier.
Sound That Astounds!
--------------------
Getting started with the C-1U may seem like child's play, but
this pro-caliber microphone is anything but a toy. It has an
exceptionally flat frequency response and pristine sonic
resolution that ensures content-rich audio that is as natural
sounding as the original source. The cardioid pickup pattern
provides unparalleled sound source separation and feedback
rejection. The C-1U's ultra low-noise, transformerless FET input
circuitry can handle extreme dynamics, all the way up to 136 dB,
with ruler-flat frequency response from 40 Hz to 20 kHz. That
means that even if the special guest on your next podcast happens
to be a revved-up jet engine, this workhorse mic will not
distort!
