The MiC from Apogee clearly demonstrates that advances in technology can deliver exceptional quality at ever lower price points. But that’s not the main feature of this condenser microphone. Rather, it is a solidly built, supremely easy to use USB microphone designed to record to Apple’s iOS devices and Mac computers. Plug it in and go.

The microphone turns an iPhone or iPad into a compact and great sounding recording solution. Whether you need to record a vocal or acoustic instrument, create a podcast, do an interview or do a voice-over, record a song idea anywhere, the MiC takes care of all these scenarios with renowned Apogee quality. This hands-on video review covers all the features and provides examples of use.
