USB Microphone

USB desktop condenser microphone, we usually call it USB microphone. There is no need for a preamplifier, a sound card, or other hardware devices. The condenser microphone can be connected to the computer through a USB cable to provide clear and natural sound for computer recording. The USB microphone can be used in common home recording, studio recording, personal dubbing, tutorial recording, computer live broadcasting, and other scenes.

I. Working Principle of USB Microphone:
USB microphone is actually a combination of microphone and sound card. When recording, the sound received by USB microphone is directly processed by the sound card inside the microphone, converted from analog to digital, and then transmitted to the computer in the form of data through USB.

2. Why do I need a USB microphone?
Many brands, including Saramonic, have wireless microphones with 3.5mm connectors (such as Blink500, Blink500 Pro, SR-WM4C) or set-top microphones (such as Vmic Mini) that can be connected to the computer through the corresponding audio cable to provide clear sound for computer recording. But if you often need to use a computer to do live broadcasting, dubbing, recording and other work, we still recommend that you have a USB microphone dedicated to the computer.
① Comparison of sound quality
The 3.5mm interface microphone has the advantages of lossless transmission of sound signals and low distortion of human voice. However, if it is not used with an independent sound card, the ordinary configuration of the computer graphics card produces frequency radiation, coupled into the audio circuit, easy to produce a small amount of current sound or other noise.

The advantage of USB microphone lies in the built-in sound card function, instant conversion of sound digital signal, clear voice effect, no current sound and noise interference, and plug and play, it is also very convenient to use.

② Economic budget
Of course, in daily use, many friends will buy an additional set of independent sound cards with better resolution, so as to avoid the noise problem that may exist when the 3.5mm interface microphone is connected to the computer. However, if such a set of microphone + professional sound card is fully configured, it will cost a lot more.

So, if you want to get good sound quality, but also want to reduce the purchase budget, and simple operation, then choose a set of high-quality USB microphone can be achieved in one step.

At the same time, as the audio technology becomes more and more mature, the performance of USB microphones becomes more and more powerful. Some high-end USB microphones can even achieve bidirectional lossless conversion and synchronous monitoring of digital-to-analog signals, such as Saramonic SR-MV7000, which can achieve these functions well.

The Saramonic SR-MV7000 is a next-generation USB and XLR 2-in-1 professional condenser microphone. The fuselage has a unique three-diaphragm capsule design, which includes five-core XLR female to three-core XLR dual male audio cable, Type-C to USB-A output cable, Type-C to Type-C output cable, and is designed with four pickup modes and 3.5mm headphone monitoring holes. It can provide high-definition broadcast-grade sound quality for XLR interface (camera, mixer, mixing console, etc., which can provide 48V phantom power supply) and USB interface (Android mobile phone, computer, etc.) to meet the recording needs of various shooting scenes.

A standard 5/8 "screw hole is built into the bottom of the microphone, which can be used with a microphone stand or cantilever. The package also includes a detachable desktop microphone stand and a pop-up spray guard for easy home studio recording, studio recording, podcasting, and narration.
