Frequently Asked Questions

USB-C offers faster data transfer speeds and is more future-proof, ensuring compatibility with newer devices and potentially reducing latency.
The DSP is quite subtle; it gently tames harsh frequencies and reduces plosives without overly coloring the sound – a welcome addition for quick and easy setup.
While it *can* be used for instruments, its cardioid pattern and dynamic nature are best suited for vocals; you’ll likely need to experiment with EQ to achieve optimal results for other sources.
