It connects straight to a PC or Mac over USB 2.0, so there's no need for a separate audio interface or phantom power supply. We've included everything you need to get set up, including the microphone, shock mount, pop filter, an articulated arm and a 1.5m USB type B to A lead. It works with any standard digital recording software suite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 16mm back electret capsule uses a cardioid polar pattern, picking up sound from the front while rejecting noise from the sides and rear. That makes it a sensible choice for vocals or single instruments where you want clean, focused pickup. The frequency response runs from 30Hz to 18kHz, with a signal to noise ratio of 78dB and a maximum SPL of 132dB, so it copes with louder sources without distorting. The microphone measures 157 x 46mm and weighs 206g on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes a spider shock mount holder to isolate the microphone from knocks and vibration, plus a pop shield to reduce plosives on close vocal work. The articulated arm clamps to a worktop or desk, sometimes called a boom arm, and swings into position so you can angle the microphone where you need it. Power comes from the USB connection at 5V, keeping the setup tidy with a single cable to your computer. It's an affordable way to reach studio quality results at home without a cluttered rig.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower supply\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5Vdc (from USB)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCapsule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16mmØ back electret condenser\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolar pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-48dB ±2dB @ 1kHz (0dB = 1V\/Pa)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150 Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS\/N ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSPL max.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e132dB @ 1kHz (\u0026lt;1%THD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30Hz - 18kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e157mm x 46mmØ (microphone only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.21KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/173645UK_0513124a-dadc-4504-92ae-b5d8a3627119.pdf?v=1784997580\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the UMK-7 need an audio interface or phantom power?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It connects directly to your computer over USB 2.0 and is powered from the USB port at 5V, so no separate interface or phantom power is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it compatible with both PC and Mac?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
