Equipped with both USB and an XLR outputs, this digital/analog mic is designed both for live
performance and digitally capturing music or any acoustic audio source using your favorite
recording software.
The CM14USB faithfully reproduces a variety of sound sources including vocals, acoustic
instruments and It is also great for VoIP and webcasting. The extended frequency and fast
transient response ensures an accurate linear reproduction.
The microphone also features a built-in headphone jack with volume control that allows you to
monitoring the direct microphone signal (your voice for example) and the sound from your
audio recording software on your computer / device.
The microphone’s cardioid polar pattern delivers excellent off-axis rejection, while its A/D
converter with a 24-bit, 96 kHz sampling rate ensures clear, articulate sound reproduction.
The CM14USB features a blue LED inside the microphone cage that indicates when the
microphone has power. If the light does not turn on after plugging the microphone in, the
computer or device you are using may not provide enough power for the CM14USB. If this is the
case, we recommend connecting the CM14USB via a powered USB hub.
