The AKG's C44 ultra HD is a multimode USB microphone that can capture crystalline vocals with 4K compatible 24-bit/192kHz audio resolution, ideal for podcasting or streaming. This microphone has a four-capsule mic array that record in four different polar patterns. All skill levels of users can record directly into their computer using the USB connection, which eliminates the need for an extra mixer or interface. Users may use the Lyra's 3.5mm headphone port to monitor your levels in real time and activate the momentary mute switch to prevent unwanted disruptions.
