Mackie EM-USB USB EleMent Series USB Condenser Microphone

USB Condenser Microphone for Podcasting and Streaming

The Mackie EM-USB is a USB condenser microphone built for podcasting, streaming, voice recording, and content creation on computers and mobile devices. Designed for plug-and-play operation, it connects directly via USB-C and delivers broadcast-quality audio without the need for an external audio interface or preamp.

Simple USB Connectivity for Instant Recording

This USB microphone works seamlessly with computers as well as iOS and Android devices when paired with the appropriate adapters. Bus-powered operation means there is no external power supply required, making the EM-USB an easy choice for home studios, remote recording setups, and mobile content creation.

Cardioid Pickup Pattern for Clear Voice Capture

The EM-USB uses a cardioid polar pattern that focuses on sound directly in front of the microphone while reducing room noise and background ambience. This directional design is especially useful for untreated rooms, helping podcasters and streamers achieve clearer vocal recordings without acoustic treatment.

Built In Monitoring and Front Panel Controls

A rear-mounted 3.5 mm headphone output allows for direct, latency-free monitoring while recording. Onboard controls for microphone gain, headphone volume, and mute provide quick access to level adjustments, allowing users to fine-tune recordings without touching software settings.

Broadcast Standard Audio Quality

The microphone captures audio at up to 16-bit / 48 kHz resolution, delivering clean and detailed sound suitable for podcasts, voiceovers, streaming, and online video production. This resolution meets common broadcast and streaming standards, ensuring compatibility across platforms.

Ready to Use with Included Accessories

The EM-USB includes a desktop tripod stand, microphone clip, and USB cable, allowing users to set up and start recording immediately. Its compact footprint fits easily on desks and workstations, making it a practical option for everyday recording tasks.
