What These Specs Mean

Sample Rate: 96kHz

On USB mics, the internal sample rate affects recording quality.

Bit Depth: 24-bit

On USB mics, higher bit depth gives more dynamic range.

Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz

Wider frequency response captures more of the audible spectrum, from deep bass to airy highs.

Polar Pattern: Cardioid

Polar pattern determines where the mic picks up sound from. Cardioid rejects background noise; omnidirectional captures the full room.
