Mackie MCK-2052074-00 EM-USB USB Condenser Microphone

$0.00

The EM-USB is a versatile microphone that connects directly to a computer via a single USB Type-C cable, which handles both power and audio I/O, eliminating the need for an external audio interface. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on sound directly in front of the microphone while rejecting ambient noise from the sides and rear, making it ideal for clear vocal recordings even in untreated acoustic spaces. The microphone features a front-mounted mute button, a headphone output with independent volume control for zero-latency monitoring, and a gain control knob for adjusting the input level. It is bus-powered, drawing all the necessary power directly from the USB connection. The microphone comes with a tabletop tripod stand, a mic clip, and a USB-C cable, so you can start recording right out of the box. For content creators, the EM-USB also includes a bundled software suite featuring Pro Tools® | First and Waveform™ OEM.

About the Mackie MCK-2052074-00 EM-USB USB Condenser Microphone

The Mackie MCK-2052074-00 EM-USB is a professional studio USB condenser microphone designed to provide high-quality digital audio capture directly to a computer for podcasting, streaming, vocal recording, and voice-over work. This microphone features a large 1-inch gold-sputtered condenser capsule with a cardioid polar pattern, engineered to deliver detailed, warm sound with a pronounced presence boost that enhances vocal clarity and intelligibility. Its USB connectivity enables plug-and-play operation with Mac, Windows, and compatible mobile devices, transmitting high-resolution 24-bit/192kHz audio directly to recording or streaming software without the need for an external audio interface. The built-in analog-to-digital converter and zero-latency headphone amplifier allow users to monitor their voice in real time without echo or delay, which is critical for precise performance and editing.

The microphone is constructed with a durable, all-metal body and includes an integrated shock mount that isolates the capsule from desk vibrations and handling noise. A three-position switch on the microphone body offers essential controls: a -10 dB pad for recording loud sound sources like amplified instruments, a 80 Hz low-cut filter to reduce rumble and plosives, and a dedicated headphone volume knob for adjusting the direct monitor level. The package typically includes a threaded desktop stand and a removable pop filter to further minimize breath pops and sibilance. Its sleek design and integrated features present a professional, all-in-one solution that is both visually appealing and highly functional for content creators working on camera.

Designed for ease of use and studio-quality performance, the Mackie EM-USB simplifies the recording chain by combining a high-quality condenser capsule, professional preamp, and USB interface into a single device. Users can achieve broadcast-ready vocal sound with minimal setup—simply connect the USB cable, select the microphone as the input device in their software, and adjust the gain digitally. By offering a direct, high-fidelity path to professional audio capture, this microphone empowers podcasters, streamers, musicians, and remote workers to produce polished audio content from a home studio or any location with a computer.
