CardioidNady USB-1C

MSRP: $230 Cardioid Condenser Microphone

Nady USB-1C

Description

The USB-1C is a medium-diaphragm condenser microphone with a built-in ADC (analog/digital converter) supporting 16-bit, 44.1-48kHz output.

Note that Nady’s literature inaccurately describes the USB-1C as a large-diaphragm microphone. At 19mm, the capsule doesn’t qualify for the traditional definition of “large-diaphragm.”

The packaging is fairly basic; the mic includes a USB cable and stand mount. Accessories that are often standard are in this case only available separately: shockmount, flight case, foam windscreen.

The Nady USB-1C is also known as: 1C.
