About the CAD U3 Limited Edition USB Studio Recording Microphone – Midnight Blue
Product Description
CAD’s U-3, Large Condenser USB Studio Recording Mic provides studio-quality sound quality directly to your computer. Applications include: Studio vocals, Speech, Instruments, Podcasts & Desktop Recording
Record studio-quality audio directly to your computer via USB with the CAD U3 side-address microphone–a great choice for both vocal and instruments as well as for creating podcasts and voiceovers for videos. Compatible with both Windows and Mac OS operating systems, you can simply plug the U3 into your PC and start recording.
The U3 has two switches on the front. The first switch allows you to decrease the sensitivity of the microphone so the sound quality is clear for extremely loud sounds. For example, the switch should be in the “-10” position for loud voices, percussion and other high sound pressure level devices. The “0” position should be used for normal voices and string instruments.
The second switch on the U3 is designed to reduce pickup of deep-bass sounds. The switch should be in the “Normal Bass” mode in most cases. However, if you want to remove wind noise, ventilation noise, or decrease the low frequencies in a recording, the switch should be in the “Bass Reduction” position.
