The ART C1USB is a professional studio quality side address FET microphone with a direct to digital USB 2.0 audio interface. The C1USB will operate as a standalone unit with any Windows or Mac based recording system. In addition to being an audio to digital input device, the C1USB microphone has an integrated D/A converter that makes the microphone in effect its own audio interface. The D/A converter provides computer playback to the 1/8th-inch headphone output jack with volume and mix controls integrated into the microphone chassis. The volume control sets the overall listening level in the headphones, while the mix control allows the user to blend the computer audio (playback) and source (microphone) to the headphones mix. This delivers a zero-latency recording solution. Additional controls on the microphone include an input gain control to allow setting of input level to the recording software, a -10dB pad switch and a low frequency roll off at 100 Hz.
