SKU: EM-CARBON
Whether you need a USB microphone to record a podcast, a Twitch stream, or all your prized instruments, the Mackie EleMent Series Carbon USB Microphone will come in handy. 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 precision engineered to give you impeccable sonic reproduction in a durable form factor. Setup is as easy as sitting the mic on your desk in its tabletop stand and plugging it into your computer with the supplied USB Type-C cable.
A Great Sound for Any Purpose
Onyx preamps are provided to give you crystal-clear quality on vocals and instruments, thanks to its transparent capture and ultralow noise.
5 Selectable Polar Patterns
The multiple polar patterns allow virtually any kind of content creator to do their thing with precision and ease. Use Cardioid to reject off axis noise, minimizing room tone while you speak directly into the mic. If you need an even more focused sound, choose Supercardioid.
If you're recording with one other guest, select the Bidirectional 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. Finally, a stereo mode is wonderful for ASMR content, or for recording music. A desktop stand and a USB cable are included.
Onboard Headphone Monitoring & Controls
A 3.5mm headphone output with independent volume control offers a convenient monitoring solution. Also, adjust the polar pattern and adjust the mic gain as you'd like.
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.
Handy Hardware Included
With an included tripod stand and USB cable, you can get up and running right away. Simply place the mic in the mount, attach the mount to the stand, and run the USB cable from the mic into your computer.
