## Description

From the Manufacturer USB Studio Recording Microphone Record studio-quality audio directly to your computer Excellent for vocals and instruments Podcast over the internet Create your own audio for video Record your own songs Simply plug in and start recording Windows and Macintosh compatible Applications Studio Vocals, Speech, Instruments, Podcasts, Desktop Recording U37 Features and Benefits Large condenser microphone element for warm, rich recordings Cardioid pick-up pattern minimizes background noise and isolates the main sound source Smooth, extended frequency response is excellent for singing, speech and instruments -10dB overload-protection switch minimizes distortion from loud sound sources Bass-reduction switch reduces room noise Side-address design used by broadcast, TV and recording studios Ten-foot USB cable for flexible mic placement Desktop mic stand included Product Description Record studio-quality audio directly to your computer via USB with the CAD U37 side-address condenser microphone-a great choice for both vocal and instruments as well as for creating podcasts and voiceovers for videos. Compatible with both Windows and Mac OS operating systems, you can simply plug the U37 into your PC and start recording. The U37 has two switches on the front. The first switch allows you to decrease the sensitivity of the microphone so the sound quality is clear for extremely loud sounds. For example, the switch should be in the "-10" position for loud voices, percussion and other high sound pressure level devices. The "0" position should be used for normal voices and string instruments. The second switch on the U37 is designed to reduce pickup of deep-bass sounds. The switch should be in the "Normal Bass" mode in most cases. However, if you want to remove wind noise, ventilation noise, or decrease the low frequencies in a recording, the switch should be in the "Bass Reduction" position.

Review: The only recording mike you'll need - At first I was going to give this mike 4 stars because I'm a perfectionist and I've seen better studio mikes. But those studio mikes were expensive; this one is under $50. Therefore, 5 stars. Here's why: PROS: * Good quality recording with variable settings on the mike itself * Very easy to install. No driver software-- just plug it in and it works * Responsive cyan LED to help indicate power / recording level * Excellent size. When set on a table it's at just about the perfect height for recording * Surprisingly good sound quality, especially for a mike this light-weight and low-priced * Neat little table tripod stand, easy to set up and use * Comes with generous-length cable CONS: None really. Terrific little mike. These are more "be aware of these things when recording": * This is (as advertised) a studio mike. It is really, really, really sensitive and will pick up all sounds in the room-- including computer fans and a small 10" room fan I had set on low about 6 feet away. Such noise of course can be easily overcome in post-processing using a program such as Audacity (available free on the Net) or other music processing software. * That said, it has a "bass switch" that provides reduction of background noise by reducing mike sensitivity for some sound levels. * That said... the bass switch also alters the overall quality of recording sound. This can also be adjusted via post-processing. * THAT said... it's best to record in an enclosed room using a tablet or laptop with as little fan sound as possible, because this WILL pick up all sound in the room. It's meant to do so to provide distortion-free recording. For best recording I use this with my Windows tablet (zero fan noise, easy portability and setup). The result is a very effective "recording studio" which does a good job for not a lotta cash. Quality Windows tablets today can be purchased for around $200. So that along with this mike and free downloaded software provides a good recording environment that will suit the needs of many users. And of course it functions perfectly as a high-quality computer mike for Skype or other chat purposes. WHAT TO EXPECT: A good-quality voice and instrument recording mike. Solo voice/guitar? Yes. Computer voice mike? Yes but it will pick up background noise. Group mike? Yes, it's a studio mike; it picks up sound well. WHAT NOT TO EXPECT: Don't expect $300 + $20 wind screen sound recording from this. It has very good sound recording, but there are better mikes on the market if your budget allows. However if you're on a limited budget and want GOOD results and would like a USB mike that plugs right into your computer, I don't believe this can be beat. I've purchased several microphones and this has as good a quality sound recording as any mike I have purchased. This isn't a "band" mike. This is for use in "studio conditions" (ie, in a closed environment without background noise) directly plugged into your computer's USB port. Used as an outdoor mike at a concert or such... well I haven't tried that yet. Typically studio mikes are not good for such. Used in live performance: no. The background noise pickup and feedback potential would be immense. SOLO STUDIO RECORDING: Because it does pick up external noise you can play it with an acoustic instrument without miking the instrument separately; it will pick up about the same quality and positioning as the human ear. Interestingly this mike seems to work better from 12 inches than the standard 2 to 4 inches that most recording mikes prefer. I got excellent results when recording at 12". At 2" from the mouth the sound is still excellent but one gets the feeling of "really not necessary and is actually too much". 12" or even further seems perfect, which is great news for solo acoustic guitar performers. This mike would work equally well running an electric guitar through an amp and setting the amp to the side. The mike has such faithful reproduction of sound it should lose little or nothing in the distance translation. In short, a terrific mike for studio recording. If you're looking for an inexpensive quality studio microphone, this is well worth your consideration.
Review: Great sound quality microphone - I bought this mic to record spoken voice for game commentary and pod casts and the like, not to sing (so I can't comment on what its like to record singing). I have had massive problems with other microphones (that were also cheap) because of the background noise in my computer room (window unit A/C - even with the compressor off, the massive fans make a fair amount of noise for my other mics to deal with, 3 computers with fans and the like). This has been an amazing microphone for me so far (had it a couple months now). It is very sensitive, which you would think would be counter-productive for a noisy room, but in my experience, since you can turn the volume down REALLY low (my windows mic volume is sitting at 5) and it will still pick up your voice loud and clear, as long as you get the positioning right, the background noise becomes negligible. I will admit I have to turn off the a/c (just the compressor part, not the fans) to get crystal clear recording, but it is miles ahead on sound quality than any other cheap microphone I have tried, and you can't really fault it for picking up loud noises that are actually in the room (after all, that is what a microphone is supposed to do, and that compressor is LOUD). I normally shut the door to the room, run the a/c on high for a few minutes before I want to record, and then turn the thermostat up so the compressor shuts off while I record for a couple hours. I had no troubles getting this to work in any of the software I use to record, I also have started using it in things like ventrilo because its just so much better than my old desk mic. Also, the stand it comes with is great for the default stand you get with a mic. The center pole moves up and down (not much, but about 2-3 inches of lift) and the part the mic attaches with pivots up and down about 180 degrees. The cord is also decently long, I have no problems mounting this on an arm on the opposite side of my desk from my pc. I think the cord is nearly 8 feet long. For the price, this thing is nothing short of amazing. My only complaint is the blue led that is right above the switches is really bright, and I normally record in a dark room... But, when the worst thing you can say about a product is the led is too bright, I call that a win. I am actually buying a second one today for my partner so we can both record at the same time and not have to be sitting on top of each other in front of my computer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good budget microphone - Bad Q/A
*by C***S on July 22, 2013*

I needed a better quality microphone to use for VOIP/gaming chats and the occasional commentary for Youtube videos. I didn't see the need to spend the $100+ price point of popular mics like the Blue Yeti or Audio-Technica AT2020 , nor did I want to skimp and pick up something in the lower price range like the Zalman Mic1 . Just wanted a middle of the road model that'll make voice recordings sound better than the built-in mic on my laptop. After doing some research I found this mic and it got enough good reviews and was in a perfect price point so I decided to try one out. Setup was easy with the microphone. Windows 7 instantly installed the drivers through the USB plug/play connection. I keep the switches at -10 for the top and the straight line for the bottom bass reduction setting. I also went into the Control Panel > Sound > Recording tabs and changed a few of the properties to get better sound: CUSTOM - UNCHECK AGC LEVELS - Moved the slider to 50 ADVANCED - Change from CD to DVD quality (1 channel, 16 bit, 48000hz) I then went into my Realtek Audio Manager (every computer will be different so you'll need to research which soundcard your computer has to find your exact settings) and unchecked any microphone 'boost' settings. Then I loaded up Audacity (free sound editing program) and recorded some voice samples at different angles/distances. The pickup of the mic was pretty good at all tests. I use it positioned directly in front of my mouth about 6-8 inches away and the audio is extremely clear with little to no background noise. Most importantly though is there is no fuzzy/static sound at all. Instead of picking up a bulky pop filter or even a windscreen I simply took a clean sock and covered the mic to help prevent any spit getting into the mouthpiece. Comparing the voice samples covered/uncovered, the simple sock works pretty well to help tone down any sharp sounds. It also has the benefit of covering the blue LED from shining in your face. Talking to a few family/friends on Skype and in games they almost all commented on how much better I sounded from the built-in mic. Job done. I did take off a star though for a fairly annoying problem. The USB connection is very finnicky. Any reposition or slight movement in the USB cable will disconnect the mic. Not sure if my mic is just defective or if this is a common problem with the mics. Please leave a comment or message to let me know if you have any issues with yours please. A simple jiggle on the cable fixes it so I'm not going to bother sending back for a replacement .... yet. Overall though, this is a good microphone for voice commentary and sets up easily. Very clean natural sounding voice recording and has just enough features/accessories to make it worth the price. Recommended. Edit - January 2020 Still using the microphone. The issue above with the mic disconnecting was due to the assembly of the mic. The two plastic shells have a channel in between them that the wire from the USB port is supposed to fit into. During the assembly of the mic this wire was out of the channel and pinched in between the two shells. This caused the insulation on the wire to pinch and expose the bare wire. The mic would short circuit which explains the disconnects. I opened it up and wrapped the wire in electrical tape and the mic has been fine since then. Getting 7+ years out of the mic is not bad. Still recommended.
