M Audio M-Audio Mic USB Microphone with Headphone Output

Whether you need a USB microphone to record a podcast, a Twitch stream, or all your prized instruments, the M-Audio USB microphone is more than up to the job. With its multiple recording modes, durable form factor, and reasonable price, this microphone will deliver a reliable sound whether you're just getting into content creation, or are looking to expand your collection of tools for the task at hand.

This mic has been fashioned to give you a clear and detailed sound as well as an easy setup. As the mic is already housed in a tabletop stand, all you have to do is plug it into your computer with the supplied USB cable.

A Great Sound for Any Purpose

The mic's wide-range 30 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response delivers a detailed and natural sound.

Works with Your Setup

The mic is designed to work right out of the box with Mac and Windows computers. With a separately available kit, you can also use the mic with iOS devices.

4 Selectable Polar Patterns

The multiple polar patterns allow virtually any kind of content creator to record themselves with precision and ease. Use Cardioid to reject off axis noise, minimizing room tone while you speak directly into the mic. If you're recording with one other guest, select the bidirectional Figure-8 polar pattern; now you can speak into the front, while the guest speaks into the back, and the sides of the mic will reject unwanted room noise. Choose Omnidirectional to pick up audio all around the capsule, which is great for work that features multiple voices at once. Finally, a Stereo mode is wonderful for ASMR content, or for recording music.

Onboard Headphone Monitoring & Controls

A 3.5mm headphone output with independent volume control offers a convenient monitoring solution. Also, you can adjust the polar pattern easily, and blend between the microphone and your prerecorded material to compensate for any latency—this is particularly useful for musicians. Finally, an LCD screen provides easy-to-see readouts of the mic's parameters.

Broadcast-Quality Audio Capture

The mic records audio at sample rates and resolutions up to 16-bit / 48 kHz, giving you the broadcast standard for media playback.
