If you're a content creator who needs to be able to handle podcasting, Twitch Streaming, and playing guitar whilst singing, all-in-one USB-enabled device, the Mackie EleMent series Chromium Premium USB Microphone is the perfect fit for your needs. Not only is this a USB mic, it's also a two-channel mixer with a 1/4" instrument input and a stereo 3.5mm input.
The mic itself offers four polar patterns to suit any kind of content creator, from the game streamer to the ASMRtist. With convenient controls, a tabletop stand, a USB Type-C cable, and a whole slew of software, this mic and mixer combo gives you nearly everything you need to get started.
4 Selectable Polar Patterns
Multiple polar patterns allow virtually any kind of content creator to do their thing with precision and ease. Use Cardioid to reject off axis noise, minimizing room tone while you speak directly into the mic. If you're recording with one other guest, select the Bidirectional polar pattern; now you can speak into the front, while the guest speaks into the back, and the sides of the mic will reject unwanted room noise. Choose Omnidirectional to pick up audio all around the capsule, which is great for work that features multiple voices. Finally, a Stereo mode is wonderful for ASMR content, or for recording music. A desktop stand and a USB cable are included.
2-Channel Mixer Integrated into Stand
A 2-channel mixer is integrated into the stand, so you can connect a guitar directly and record along with your vocals. You can also connect any stereo signal through the auxiliary 3.5mm jack. This form factor is perfect for the multitalented content creator who wants an easy setup and a crystal clear sound.
Onboard Headphone Monitoring
The mic offers a headphone output with an independent volume control for a convenient way to monitor straight from the mic itself. You can also blend between the mic signal and the USB audio, which makes it useful for low-latency monitoring.
Professional-Quality Sound
Onyx preamps are provided to give you crystal-clear quality on vocals and instruments, thanks to its transparent capture and ultralow noise.
Broadcast-Quality Audio Capture
The mic records audio at sample rates and resolutions up to 16-bit / 48 kHz, giving you the broadcast standard for media playback.
Handy Hardware Included
With an included tripod stand and USB cable, you can get up and running right away. Simply place the mic in the mount, attach the mount to the stand, and run the USB cable from the mic into your computer.
Industry-Standard Software Included
Avid Pro Tools has been an industry standard in studios and homes for decades, and the mic offers you a gateway into the world of Pro Tools with free, included software. Pro Tools | First (available for macOS and Windows operating systems) is easy enough for beginners, yet sophisticated enough for experienced musicians.
