The MXL AC-404 USB Conference Microphone is a compact workspace microphone designed to improve the audio quality of conferences podcasts streams interviews online tuition and much more. Designed with simplicity in mind the MXL AC-404 features a class-compliant USB connection allowing you to connect to both Windows and Mac computers on USB 1.1 and 2.0 with no drivers or complicated setups. Improve your workspace audio quality by ditching built-in web camera microphones and capturing a wide 180-degree pickup pattern up to 25 inches from the microphone. The three integrated microphone capsules deliver a smooth and quiet audio stream with professional results in any building or studio location. Designed to be non-intrusive the low-profile flat design of the microphone is ideal for placing on a podium or desktop without taking up vital space for notes or external equipment. A soft-grip base ensures that no matter where you place it your MXL AC-404 will remain in place when in use. The construction is comprised of an all-metal design meaning that you can have peace of mind knowing that your microphone is safe from any potential knocks or bumps when transporting between offices in the supplied leatherette pouch.
