Mackie Carbon Cardioide Microphone  

The Carbon microphone is a versatile microphone from Mackie. The microphone has a USB port, allowing it to be connected directly to a device. This makes the microphone mainly ideal for talking content, such as streaming, podcasts or YouTube videos. However, this microphone also works great for recording music. The polar pattern is customisable. There are five different options: stereo, cardioid, bi-directional, super-cardioid and omni. This means that side with which the microphone records can be changed. Generally, these microphones are used as cardioid microphones, with only the front side being recorded so that background noise is minimised. The microphone also includes a headphone input so that audio can be listened to at the same time. In addition, Mackie has made the microphone very robust, so it can take a beating. The microphone comes with a stand and a USB-C cable.
