This USB dynamic microphone features a hypercardioid polar pattern designed to capture focused audio while helping reduce unwanted background sound. With a frequency response of 80 Hz to 16 kHz, it is suitable for voice recording, streaming, podcasting, broadcasting, and other spoken-word applications.

The microphone supports 16-bit and 24-bit audio recording with selectable sample rates of 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96 kHz. Its USB Type-C connection provides convenient digital connectivity, while USB power allows operation without a separate power supply. The built-in headphone output makes direct monitoring convenient during recording sessions.

Dedicated controls provide headphone level adjustment, mix control, low-cut filtering, and microphone muting. The included mounting clamp, threaded adapter, and USB connection accessories make it easier to integrate the microphone into compatible recording setups.
