With its cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional, and stereo pickup options, the Godox UMic82 desktop USB condenser microphone offers versatility and quality sound capture for podcasters, content creators, singers, and musicians using Mac or Windows computers for their productions.
Cardioid mode is ideal for recording one speaker or a solo performer in front of the mic while rejecting background noise behind the mic, whereas the omnidirectional setting captures sound from 360° around the capsule, great for situations where multiple people are gathered near the mic. The bidirectional mode picks up speakers or vocalists on each side of the mic, while the stereo mode offers two-channel capture for a pronounced stereo effect when desired.
The UMic82 boasts a built-in grille to reduce pops from vocal plosives, a gain knob for optimizing the mic level, and a mute button to cut the mic signal between performances or sections. Also, the mic features a 3.5mm headphone jack for convenient real-time audio monitoring. Driver-free setup ensures simple plug-and-play operation, and the included USB Type-C and USB Type-C to USB Type-A cables ensure proper connectivity with computers and many mobile devices.
