Mic selection tips

Choose a Plugable USB microphone

For most voice applications, a USB microphone with a cardioid polar pattern will keep your voice clear while reducing background noise. Plugable’s microphones are plug-and-play, so you can start recording immediately. Consider a desk stand or boom arm for better placement. If you need a microphone for conference calls or streaming, look for features like mute control and headphone monitoring. With prices from $10-$24.98, you get reliable quality at an affordable price.
