Apogee Launches MiC 96k – Higher Fidelity Microphone for iPad, iPhone & Mac
With CES currently unfolding, and NAMM on the way, expect manufacturers to be upping the ante on existing offerings, along with the myriad new product rollouts. For the former category, observe Apogee Electronics’ MiC 96k cardioid condenser digital microphone for iPad, iPhone and Mac.
An update to their MiC mobile microphone that was first introduced in 2011, the new MiC 96k features the same look and portable form factor as the original, but now provides the ability to make recordings up to 24-bit/96kHz quality. An iOS Lightning cable plus microphone stand adapter are also now standard accessories. As with its predecessor, the MiC 96k also includes an iOS 30-pin cable, Mac USB cable, and table-top tripod stand.
The MiC 96k is a cardioid condenser mic designed with voice and acoustic instrument recording in mind.
Priced at $229 and available now, MiC 96k is designed to be a pro-level mobile solution for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch/Mac to record vocals, voice overs, acoustic guitar, piano, drums and more.
