Product Information

Full details

The Prosound Desktop USB-C Microphone is designed for content creators, podcasters, streamers, and professionals needing clear voice capture for calls and recordings. Its key benefit lies in its dual polar patterns and plug-and-play USB-C connectivity, offering versatile audio pickup and easy setup. A potential caveat is that while it includes a USB-A to USB-C cable, users with only USB-C ports will need their own USB-C to USB-C cable for newer devices.

FAQs

Do I need to install any software to use this microphone?

No, the Prosound USB-C Microphone is designed for plug-and-play operation. Most operating systems will automatically detect and install the necessary drivers when you connect it via USB.

What is the difference between cardioid and omnidirectional modes?

Cardioid mode picks up sound primarily from the front, rejecting sound from the sides and rear, ideal for solo voice capture. Omnidirectional mode picks up sound equally from all directions, useful for capturing group conversations or room ambiance.

Can I use this microphone with my smartphone or tablet?

Compatibility with smartphones and tablets depends on the device's USB audio support and whether you have the appropriate USB-C adapter or cable. It is primarily designed for PCs and laptops.

How do I adjust the microphone volume?

The microphone features an onboard volume control knob that allows you to easily adjust the input gain directly on the device.

What type of cable is included with the microphone?

A 1-meter USB-C to USB-A cable is included for connecting to most computers. If your computer only has USB-C ports, you may need to provide your own USB-C to USB-C cable.

Can I hear myself while I'm speaking?

Yes, the microphone has a 3.5mm headphone jack for real-time monitoring, allowing you to hear your own voice and other audio sources directly through your connected headphones.

Is the desktop stand adjustable?

The included desktop stand provides a stable base and allows for basic positioning of the microphone. Further articulation or height adjustment may depend on the specific stand design, but it is designed for stable desk placement.

Troubleshooting

Microphone not detected by computer

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the microphone and the computer. Try a different USB port or a different USB cable. If using USB-C to USB-C, ensure the cable supports data transfer.

No audio input

Check that the microphone is selected as the input device in your computer's sound settings or in your recording software. Verify that the volume control on the microphone is not set to minimum. Ensure the mute function (if applicable) is not engaged.

Poor audio quality or distortion

Reduce the input gain using the onboard volume control. Ensure the microphone is not placed too close to the sound source or in a position where it picks up excessive room noise. Check if the correct polar pattern is selected for your recording situation.

Headphone monitoring not working

Confirm that your headphones are fully plugged into the 3.5mm jack. Check your computer's audio output settings to ensure it's routed correctly. Try a different pair of headphones to rule out a headphone issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connect the included USB-C to USB-A cable to the microphone's USB-C port and to an available USB-A port on your computer. Alternatively, use a compatible USB-C to USB-C cable if your computer has USB-C ports and you wish to use that connection.

  3. Place the microphone on its included desktop stand for optimal positioning.
  4. Plug your headphones into the 3.5mm headphone jack on the microphone for real-time monitoring.

Compatibility:

This microphone is compatible with most PCs and laptops running Windows or macOS. It is also compatible with devices that support USB audio input via USB-C.

Care:

  • Keep the microphone clean by wiping it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
  • Protect the microphone capsule from dust and moisture.
  • Store the microphone in a safe place when not in use to prevent damage.
  • Avoid dropping or subjecting the microphone to strong impacts.
