A "plug-and-play" benchmark in the Bird range
Praised by creators, the Bird UM1 has established itself as a reference USB microphone to start or complete a hassle-free recording setup. Its design focuses on operational simplicity while preserving faithful sound reproduction, making it a reliable choice for those who want serious sound without an external audio interface.Designed for creators: clear voices, immediate recording
Whether you host a podcast, a YouTube channel, a web radio, or a Twitch live stream, the UM1 offers direct and natural recording. The cardioid directivity effectively isolates the front source, limiting room and keyboard sounds, while the large diaphragm adds warmth and detail to both spoken and sung voices. Its quick setup is also suitable for home studio musicians to capture guitar, piano, or light percussion.Built-in USB interface and faithful reproduction
Thanks to native USB audio compatibility, the UM1 works immediately on most systems. It requires no preamp or sound card: a single USB cable is enough. Its sensitivity of -37 dB highlights nuances, the extended frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz ensures a full spectrum, and the maximum SPL of 125 dB allows dynamic recordings without premature clipping. Supplied with a shock mount, thread adapter, USB cable, and pouch, it integrates neatly on a stand or broadcast arm for a clean and durable setup.Technical specifications

I have been using the Bird UM1 for 2-3 months now, I use it for my videos and for a web radio station that I am a part of. For the damn sum of 50, I think it's of excellent quality! to avoid putting it on a table/desk (in I don't know what way) because with the microphone, each little âknockâ is strongly felt! (Preferably, use a microphone bottom, or a mic stand that can be put on the floor!) . This can also be felt enormously on the Blue Yeti! A windshield is also recommended (If you are hesitant about a windshield and an anti-pop filter, it depends on your equipment, I took a windshield because I don't have enough to hang the filter with) The only small defect (this may be an advantage for some) is that the microphone is USB, and you will therefore need 1 USB port in addition, but this is an advantage for PCs without a sound card, because it is integrated into the microphone! As for the sound, I was able to hear my neighbors (who were not talking loudly) with the microphone and the sound at full speed! So pay attention to ambient noise and PC fans!

This microphone is of excellent quality, especially for its price!
I recommend the PSA-1 pack that I personally purchased and is perfect to start with, whether it's for singing, recording voiceovers, or for doing podcasts and streaming, it's well-made.
I advise any buyer to take with an anti-pop potion or a windshield that can greatly increase the recording quality
(ref: woodbrass PF-01 for the anti-pop potion and woodbrass WS02 for the windshield which is also of good quality)
With this I can only recommend this microphone if you are a beginner who does not want to get carried away and have quality at an affordable price.
Ae also recommends using voicemod for beginners and voicemmeter for the more experienced, two programs that will allow you to modify the sound at your own ease!Automatically translated

I've been using the Bird UM1 for two weeks. A very good product that I got on sale. Record well for the price that it is, great for work, office use, and streaming. It's obvious but for ASMR and more advanced uses it's complicated but it's still great for the price that it is. Easy to use, I would have liked someone to guide me in modifying the microphone settings to be able to customize it more easily but it is surely a lot to ask for.

Honestly, I don't know anything about microphones.
So, I was looking for material to do covers, knowing that I can sing both in low and high tones, but I mainly sing in high tones (operas,...).
I am surprised that this microphone, for the relatively low price it costs, is of such good quality. He manages to record without saturating up to certain high notes (genre up to the highs of La Reine de la Nuit). Very good equipment, from a quality/price point of view!Automatically translated

Excellent quality product. The accessories provided (cover & carrycot) are really very useful. The quality is remarkable and even exceeds all my original needs.
As the saying goes: âWho can the most, can the least!â
Very happy with this item. My only regret is technical, I would also have liked to be able to connect it to a camcorder via a jack but it is not possible.
Only the PC benefits from this recording quality, that's all!!
