It’s about the same size as the MiC+ itself, and comes with an adjustable knob on the side to tweak the top’s fit. Lastly, we’ll talk about the included tripod. The housing below the grille to protect the rest of the mic body is of a scratch-less (yes, we tried with our keys), dark grey metal casing, and the front knob and blend button do not come out whatsoever after trying to pull them out (blend button is rubber while the control knob is a rubberized harder plastic) - a very sturdy build all around. We attempted to pull it off and even hit the top relatively hard to test the sturdiness and it didn’t budge.

The grille in particular is made of a nice black, metallic finish, efficiently protecting our beloved diaphragm underneath. The build itself is very sturdy, coming with zero cheap plastic parts. We wouldn’t necessarily compare it to let’s say a Rode NTK, Neumann or other middle-priced studio condensers, but when it comes to recording as compared to many USB mics in the market right now (both quality and power), the small size does not hold this microphone back at all, particularly in smaller home studios for music, or other recording purposes such as podcasts, game streaming or online calls of any level. Just because it’s nearly the size of our mouse does not make it “less powerful” than others, even when compared to thick, grenade-like condenser mics with the traditional studio microphone build and XLR connection.
Apogee mic 96k plus#
You can technically fit the MiC Plus in your pocket as well (yes, it’s small enough), but we wouldn’t consider that feasible protection and do not recommend it.īigger isn’t always “better”, and Apogee proves that with the MiC Plus, especially in the microphone game. Our laptop sleeve in our opinion was quite feasible since it has a pretty thick protective layer on the outside in case of drops, although we could also envision people keeping the original Apogee box and just traveling with that (it will fit all of your cables and mic stand, too). With that being said, no unfortunately there isn’t a carrying case in the box the MiC Plus, so if you are indeed traveling with it, make sure it’s safe.
While we were traveling with it (to a friend’s studio to record), we were able to put it in the front pocket of our laptop sleeve, although wrapped some cloth around the mic for extra protection just in case.
Apogee mic 96k portable#
We can hold it in the palm of our hands very easily, and the biggest pro of this all is just how portable the MiC+ truly can be. The MiC Plus is about a few inches bigger than our computer mouse and as long as our iPhone (half the width and about twice the depth) if you’d like to scale its size before purchasing. Aside from perhaps a few other ‘portable’ USB mics (perhaps the Samson Go Mic, or Blue Snowball), the fact that they’re able to pack a powerful punch into such a small mic always blows our mind. When first opening the package, as with their previous versions of the MiC, we’re always impressed with just how small this thing really is.

Compatible with iPad, iPhone, Mac, Windows 10.Coming in at a hefty and raw resolution of up to 24-bit/96 kHz with technology called ‘PureDIGITAL connection’ that combines internal converters and preamp, this is a lot higher-end and clearer sounding than most USB microphones in the world, especially in this price-point. One of the best standouts of this USB mic (and including their previous model) is the overall sound quality, in particular the internal technology that helps provide its beautiful audio resolution.
We were given a MiC+ to provide a fair and honest review here today, and we wanted to give this a go when it comes to not only extensive use but to test its effectiveness in different recording environments as well.
Apogee mic 96k upgrade#
While walking through the NAMM convention, one of the biggest standouts of the weekend for us was the fact that Apogee was releasing their new MiC+ USB microphone, an upgrade from one of our favorite USB mics of all time.
