USB Microphone Blue Microphones Nessie

USB Microphone Blue Microphones Nessie

Professional USB microphone with a variable polar pattern. Unlike many microphones, Nessie has a headphone output. Thus, the microphone turns into a USB sound card. Blue Microphones was one of the first in the world to catch the trend and create a condenser microphone for podcast recording, and real life has expanded the application of the device to include home, garage studios, as well as solo bloggers.

Regardless of the area of application, Blue Microphones remains consistent in one thing – professional quality. To immediately start recording quality sound, you only need to connect the microphone to the USB port of the computer, whether it’s a Mac or PC, desktop machine, laptop, or iPad.

A range of features allows for good results when recording various sound sources — ordinary speech, vocals, acoustic instruments, and others. The built-in studio-level pop filter reduces the harshness of plosive sounds in speech and vocals. An elastic shock mount helps deal with vibrations. An adaptive processor, which includes an equalizer, de-esser, and level control, automatically softens and cleans up the recording in real-time. In addition, there are three setting modes for optimizing recording: richer vocals, more detailed instruments, or raw recording. All this is implemented in the new USB microphone Nessie.

Nessie provides headphone output for direct monitoring with zero latency, allowing you to avoid distracting delays. At the same time, the headphone volume control and instant mute button are located on the microphone itself. The microphone head has high flexibility and allows you to adjust its position to achieve the optimal position.

Nessie is compatible with PC and Mac computers via Plug&Play protocol, with no need for driver installation, as well as with iPad, using an Apple 30-pin to USB camera adapter or Lightning to USB (sold separately).
