Microphone gone USB

Nady is no new name in the audio industry and I am confident that any audio tech enthusiast (let alone sound technicians or engineers) has at least heard about what they are doing if not even has worked with Nady equipment.

Well, these days, Nady has made a rather daring step in what interconnecting traditional audio gear and computers is concerned. They've pulled off a new kind of microphone which relies on USB connectivity solely. Now, just look at it and you'll clearly see that the USB-24M is no professional-grade piece of gear; nevertheless, don't be tempted to think that it's a toy.

The new Nady mic sports a neodymium component which makes it very responsive and gives it the cardioid pick-up needed for capturing almost all subtleties of the voice. While the mic is built very sturdy and looks like its solid architecture will last for ever (without looking really rugged), the delicate AD converter will still transform your spoken words into a hi-quality 24-bit, 96kHz digital signal.

The Nady USB-24M comes in with a standard 10 feet cable ended in a (logically, isn't it?) USB connector and it is truly a piece of plug and play tech: it will accommodate fastly and easily in any DAW, be it binary of physical. The 24M makes a very good tool when you need to quickly add some voiceovers in your home studio or even record vocal tracks for your projects. Perfect for over-the-net conversations, the USB-24M isn't a piece of studio equipment, though.

It will work with USB 2.0 ports and it sports a LED connection indicator light and the usual ON/OFF switch. Check your Nady equipment-selling store for local prices.
