Product Description
C01UPAK C01U Microphone and Podcast Pack comes with CO1U mic, Cakewalk Sonar LE software, Desktop mic stand, mic clip, shockmount, USB cable, aluminum case.The C01U works perfectly on any computer, Mac or PC, and with any Digital Audio Workstation software. It immediately solves a huge problem for users of many laptops, many of which have no other input method for audio devices. For the first time ever, musicians who record music on computers have a simple, affordable way to capture high-quality vocal and acoustic instrument performances. Seamless integration was the idea, and it was obtained by creating a studio condenser microphone that can be plugged into any computer with no in/out boxes, no expensive computer pre-amps, just a USB cable. It features a 19mm internal shock mounted diaphragm with a cardioid pick up pattern ensuring pristine studio quality recordings. It's a must for any musician on the road or in the project studio, but the C01U is going to offer solutions to more than just musicians. The mic opens up possibilities for anyone who records audio from Podcasters, journalists, students, and business people adding audio files to websites and multimedia presentations.

4 out of 5 stars A great product!   September 30, 2009

The microphone works great! It got a little banged up in shipping, however... it seems that the mic stand base shifted out of it's place in the case (see picture)... it must of bounced around and hit the mic and dented it a little bit, but doesn't affect the performance of the mic. It's a solid, pro-quality microphone and very easy to hookup via the usb connection to your PC. I'm not fond of the recording software it comes with... there are better ones out there.

5 out of 5 stars Great Value   September 22, 2009
Pablo Castro (Bogotá, Colombia)
Just confirmed what most other reviews agree on: this is a high quality product for its price, while it's only con is the software it comes with, which is not only bad, but also a trial version.

The voice over we recorded as a test came out clean and detailed, although I'm sure we still have to fine tune placement and levels to get the best out of it.



5 out of 5 stars Awesome studio quality mic!   August 27, 2009
Derek Page
I was looking for a good quality mic to do voice over work and play around with guitar recording just for the fun of it and wow did I make a perfect choice. I can't tell you how high the quality of an acoustic guitar is over this mic! The overall quality of this product is ridiculous! Plug and go.

Now if I could just figure out how to get that bassy/warm radio announcer effect...



4 out of 5 stars Read this before you buy it   August 12, 2009
Michael M. Yokoyama (Tokyo, Japan)
1. I found that I needed to remove the center insert from the stand's tube with a small coin to unscrew the little inset. Had to call international long distance to get support on it.
2. I found that even if you plug it in, the Macintosh doesn't automatically switch over to it, and I had to choose it in Preferences on the Mac.
3. The included software for the Mac was kind of inadequate.

Other than that, this product deserves its good rating! For me, RTFM the next time...
