Choose it if…

  • You want a direct USB computer input without a separate audio interface.
  • You want to hear your own voice through headphones while you play.
  • You will use the supplied physical configuration or verify the mount before adding an arm.

Before choosing this model

  • The 1.2 m cable is short for a tower PC under the desk; plan a longer USB-C cable if yours is.
  • It is a condenser: speak close and keep it off the keyboard's line.
  • A USB plug doesn't mean it works on a console: check which platforms its maker lists on this page.
  • Check the stand, thread and desk position before ordering a mount. Include attached shock mounts and adapters in the total weight. Arms rated for this mic →
  • Use the cable in the box; you only need an adapter if your computer lacks that port.

Set it up for game chat.

  1. Connect the parts shown in the diagram. If you use XLR, connect the microphone to the interface before selecting it in your app.

  2. Choose the intended input in the operating system. Run the Discord input check or use your console’s microphone test.

  3. Check speaking level and mute with headphones on. Change only one gain, sensitivity or suppression control between tests.
