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, 
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 your computer’s USB input 
and requires no special drivers. Just plug 
in and start recording your masterpiece!

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, Podifier uploading software 
and PodNova downloading software. 

It works like this: Connect the mic to 

your PC or Mac. Load Audacity and save 
your recording onto your hard drive.
