Brief Description
The NEOM USB is a USB condenser microphone, similar to our celebrated X1 A studio mic. Condenser mic
capsules capture sound in a very detailed and vivid way, making them perfect for recording voices as well as
instruments. The NEOM USB has a "cardioid" polar pattern, which means that it picks up sound mainly from
the front, and less from the sides and rear. The capsule is built into an internal shock mount system, helping
to keep the sound free from rumble.
USB microphones have built-in audio interfaces, which is what separates them from analog microphones. The
NEOM USB's audio system allows you to record at resolutions up to 192 kHz at 24-bits. However, that
maximum resolution creates very large audio files, which can be a drain on hard drive space. We recommend
using 48 kHz at 24-bits for most applications.
All sE products are designed to be professional grade, and the NEOM USB is no exception! The desktop mic
stand is made of metal, rather than plastic, and is equipped with rubber feet to minimize any vibration. The
mic clip can also be twisted off (counter-clockwise) for use on a full-size mic stand. Additionally, the NEOM
USB can be used with sE's Isolation Pack, which includes a studio shock mount and a metal pop filter.
