NT-USB : Great for a USB microphone, but sometimes glitchy

3 years ago

The microphone's audio sounds great for a USB mic. I specify USB because of the high noise floor (a louder 'static' that can be heard when turning up the gain too much) which usually comes with these kinds of mics.

You can plug in a pair of headphones to monitor both your mic's and your pc's audio, and how much you hear of each is adjustable with one of the knobs on the side of the mic.

I had to take one star off of the total and quality ratings because, even though the mic is 'plug and play' most of the time, sometimes the software driver will glitch out and the mic will stop working correctly until you fix it (by plugging it out and back in until it works again haha).

Otherwise it's a really nice mic for daily driving on your pc without having to mess with XLR cables.
