Yamaha YCM01U USB microphone was designed to give you and your listeners a natural and comfortable listening experience, adding an extra touch of professionalism to your streaming or remote working environment. Creating your own streaming or telework setup has never been easier. No driver installation is required — simply connect the included USB cable to a computer or iOS device and you’re ready to go. Operating the YCM01U is just as simple, with intuitive volume control of your voice and the person/people you’re communicating with assigned to a single dial on the microphone body. Headphones/earphones can be connected directly to the stereo mini jack on the back of the main unit. The YCM01U’s capsule, the key component of any microphone, is a unidirectional or “cardioid” condenser type, capable of capturing the full texture and power of your voice, while simultaneously conveying the most subtle nuances you want to express to listeners. The head of the YCM01U is decorated with thick lines to create a modern yet nostalgic feel reminiscent of the iconic condenser mic design that has become a staple of professional audio environments the world over. Available in both white or black versions, the YCM01U looks great as a desk top microphone that will add flair to your room's interior décor. n addition to the USB cable, a microphone stand is also included for immediate, comfortable and convenient streaming or telework without the need for any additional equipment.
