Classic Broadcast Microphone with Modern USB Recording
This large-diaphragm side-address USB microphone is designed for users who want classic broadcast-style sound with modern digital connectivity. It delivers rich, controlled audio directly to a computer through USB, making it well suited for podcasting, radio-style voice work, streaming, voiceover recording, and content creation where clarity and character matter.
Vintage Inspired Design with Updated Electronics
The microphone is based on the original, patented A77 design, known for its iconic look and recognizable broadcast presence. While the exterior preserves the vintage aesthetic, the internal electronics have been updated to meet modern recording standards, ensuring reliable performance and consistent sound quality in contemporary recording environments.
Supercardioid Pickup Pattern for Focused Voice Capture
A supercardioid polar pattern tightly focuses audio pickup toward the front of the microphone while rejecting sound from the sides and rear. This makes it effective in untreated rooms by reducing background noise, reflections, and unwanted ambient sound, allowing spoken word and vocals to remain clear and controlled.
Large Diaphragm Dynamic Capsule for Natural Sound
The dynamic capsule design supports high sound pressure levels while maintaining smooth frequency response from 50 Hz to 16 kHz. This allows the microphone to handle loud voices and close-mic techniques without distortion, delivering a full-bodied and transparent sound that works well for broadcast-style vocals.
USB Audio Conversion for Simple Digital Recording
Built-in USB audio conversion supports 48 kHz / 16-bit digital resolution, allowing direct connection to computers without external audio interfaces or mixers. This makes setup simple while maintaining dependable audio quality for recording, streaming, and conferencing applications.
Side Address Configuration for Consistent Mic Technique
The side-address format clearly indicates where the sound source should be positioned, helping users maintain proper microphone technique. This results in consistent vocal tone and improved intelligibility during long recording sessions.
Included USB Cable for Immediate Use
A 6.5-foot USB cable is included, allowing quick connection to compatible computers. This ensures the microphone can be put into service immediately for home studios, podcast setups, or professional broadcast environments.
