Apogee MiC Plus – Behind the Grille

Apogee MiC Plus combines a microphone, microphone preamp and A/D and D/A converters into one compact device. Apogee’s PureDIGITAL signal path delivers the highest quality signal possible with the lowest noise.

The Apogee MiC+ has a professional-quality cardioid condenser capsule. On the front-facing side of the mic housing are three multicolor LEDs that display status, input level, and Blend mode. Beneath the LEDs is a headphone output blend control that enables zero-latency recording, and a flush-mounted dual function rotary knob/push button that sets input gain (rotary) and mute (push).

Headphone output with zero-latency Blend feature

MiC Plus also features a 1/8″ stereo headphone output and Blend function for zero latency monitoring. The Blend setting on MiC Plus allows you to easily adjust how much of the microphone input you hear compared to the recorded signal coming from your software, enabling you to dial in the perfect mix.

Portable

MiC+ Plus is small enough to fit in your pocket and connects to iOS devices or your laptop, making it ideal for recording on the go.

Professional Quality

MiC Plus’ professional-quality capsule, high sensitivity and ample gain give it a sound that is similar to a top studio condenser microphone going through a high-end mic preamp. You won’t find a better sounding USB microphone at this price point.

All-in-one direct recording

With MiC Plus, there’s no complicated setup. Just connect to your computer or iOS device, select MiC Plus as your audio interface and record in your favorite app.
