Good to know

The microphone uses a condenser element, which is more sensitive than dynamic mics, so it picks up subtle nuances in your voice. The 1.7 m cable gives you freedom to position the mic away from your computer. Since it draws power over USB, it works with most desktops, laptops, and even USB hubs. For best results, place the microphone about 10–20 cm from your mouth and adjust the flexible neck to point the top of the mic toward you.
