HANDHELD DYNAMIC MICROPHONE 'The NEOM USB is a USB condenser microphone, similar to the famous X1 A studio microphone from SE ELECTRONICS. Condenser microphone capsules capture sound in a very detailed and vivid way, making them perfect for recording vocals and instruments. The NEOM USB has a ''cardioid'' polar pattern, meaning it picks up sound primarily from the front and less from the sides and back of the mic. The capsule is integrated with an internal damping system, which helps keep the captured sound free of other noises.

USB microphones have built-in audio interfaces, which is what differentiates them from analog microphones without a USB connection. The NEOM USB audio system allows us to record at resolutions of up to 192 kHz at 24 bits. However, that maximum resolution creates very large audio files, which can waste hard drive space. We recommend using 48 kHz at 24 bits for most applications.

All sE products are designed to be professional quality, and the NEOM USB is no exception! The desktop microphone stand is made of metal, rather than plastic, and is fitted with rubber feet to minimize any vibration. The microphone clip can also be rotated out (counterclockwise) for use on other full-size microphone stands. Additionally, the NEOM USB can be used with the sE Isolation Package, which includes a studio shock mount and metal pop filter.

Compatibility and software
The NEOM USB can be used with Windows and Mac systems, as well as Apple and Android portable devices. It comes complete with a USB-C to USB-A cable that can be used for devices equipped with a USB-A port. To connect to a device with a USB-C port, you can use a USB-C to USB-C cable. For other ports, i.e. micro-USB or Lightning, you have to use a suitable cable or adapter.

Although no driver is required, we recommend that Windows users install our specialized ASIO driver to get the most out of NEOM USB, including advanced control options, a virtual mixer and virtual channels. This driver is available on our website, www.seelectronics.com.
