A USB microphone inspired by consoles, designed for the personal studio
Inheriting the DNA of the acclaimed Onyx preamps used in studios and live settings, this USB microphone delivers serious capture quality in an all-in-one format. Its 3-capsule architecture and 4 polar patterns extend its use far beyond simple vocal recording, from podcasting to voice-over and instrumental demos.For demanding creators, musicians, streamers, and podcasters
Designed for the modern home studio, it simplifies the audio chain: plug it in via USB, adjust the mix between your direct monitor and the DAW signal, and monitor via headphones with imperceptible latency. The instrument input allows capturing a guitar or synth, while the 3.5 mm AUX input facilitates listening to a reference track for practice or streaming.Technical specifications
