Reviewed a recent article in Entrepreneur magazine (Feb. 2012, Mic'd up) that shared reviews of some of the newest technology in microphones. According to the article, "Thanks to a tech boost, videoconferencing is sounding better than ever."
The piece reviewed the following four microphones that can be plugged into a USB port on a computer. The user dials the call using business telephony software.
- Marshall Electronics MXL Studio 24 USB ($170) has true 24-bit recording technology with a travel friendly design.
- Blue Snowflake is a compact microphone ($33) that's described as a plug-n-play mic that is compact and easy to carry with quality audio.
- Audio-technica ATR2500-USB Cardioid Condenser ($100) offers high-fidelity audio sampling rates and low noise.
- Samson Meteor Mic ($110) is a chrome plated, retro style to earlie radio days with solid audio quality with fold-able legs for better positioning.
Sound quality is always such an issue when video conferencing. It's good to see a few companies trying to solve the issue.
