They’re fantastic for podcasters, musicians, voice actors, audio students, tech-reviewers and people who just want something better than the microphone built into their laptop.
Why Make a USB microphone? USB microphones are made for easy, plug-and-play use. Don't worry I made the project as simple as I could so everyone in the DIY community can enjoy making the USB mic project! The project consists of four main components, the USB soundcard (DAC), the mic preamp, the enclosure and the microphones themselves. Its cardioid pickup pattern, smooth frequency response and 16-bit, 44.1/48kHz resolution give you professional audio results no matter what you're recording. The project was housed on a Retro Altoids container. It's a microphone that carries the whole package, it has a shock-mount, pop filter, preamp and an internal DAC. Record quality audio at home with a Homebrew USB Condenser Mic! This week, we are hacking a tiny little gadget, the USB soundcard, and turn into a studio quality microphone.
