Features
The Plugable Performance USB Studio Microphone (USB-VOX) is designed with streamers and content creators in mind. The microphone's frequency response is specifically tailored to provide crisp and clear vocal capture for commentary, voice-over, and conferencing. The microphone also features a sound isolating condenser to filter out unwanted background noise, plug and play installation, and compatibility with nearly every USB-enabled PC. Getting the microphone working in your favorite applications is quick and easy!
The design of the microphone naturally rejects unwanted sounds that are away from the microphone, resulting in a clear, clean sound quality that works perfectly for voice and acoustic music recording. The Plugable Performance USB Microphone is a condenser type microphone, which means that its diaphragm moves the metal plates of a capacitor to generate electrical current. As a cardioid mic, our microphone is unidirectional and picks up sound in a heart-shaped pattern that is perfect for studio-style recording with a boom arm but it also works great with the included tripod.
Installation of the Plugable Performance Condenser Microphone is a piece of cake. Just connect the included USB cable between the microphone and your PC, and change your preferred recording device in Windows (or your preferred OS). Using USB rather than External Line Return (XLR) makes it easier to be a pro-grade streamer on a budget without the need for an additional audio card.

Yes, our USB-VOX microphone is capable of picking up voices from a distance. However, you’ll need to turn up the gain in your preferred recording software settings as well as within your operating system’s recording volume settings. By turning up the gain or recording volume, you may also hear more ambient/room noise than you would with lower gain and volume settings recorded from a closer distance. For best results, we recommend being no more than 1ft away from the mic and adjusting volume and gain settings to your sound preferences.
Confirm that the blue LED illuminates while the mic is connected to your computer. If the LED does not illuminate double check that the USB cable is fully connected to both the bottom of the microphone and the USB port of the computer or USB hub being used. If the blue LED illuminates, but the mic isn’t recording any sound, you’ll need to check the control panel or system preferences of your system to ensure that the microphone is set as your default/primary recording device.
