USB Microphone Buyers Guide

All the World's a Stage

This Shakespeare chestnut has never been more true. Powered by laptops, tablets, and iOS devices, the digital revolution led artists, musicians, producers and content creators out of the recording studio, out of the project and home studios, and into the open. No matter where you go, you can create content. Whether you’re in the field, on the go, at home, in meetings and conferences; it no longer matters. All the world’s a stage. So how will you capture that world? A USB microphone may be your key to making it happen.
