What goes with it

Description

The YCM01U is a USB-C condenser microphone for live streaming, web meetings, and voice recording. It is bus-powered and needs no driver on Windows, Mac, iPhone or iPad (some iPhone and iPad models need Apple adapters and a separate cable). A cardioid back electret capsule reduces pickup from the rear, and a stereo mini headphone jack with its own volume dial lets you monitor your voice together with the computer's audio. The included tripod stand holds it on a desk, and it comes in black or white.

  • Cardioid, side-address back electret condenser capsule
