About this product

The AKG Ara two-pattern USB microphone lets podcasters, bloggers, gamers and musicians capture pro-quality, high-resolution sound right from their desktops. Whether you’re streaming or recording, capture audio at 24-bit, 96kHz resolution for crystal-clear speech clarity and stunning vocal and instrument tracks. Ara’s dual pickup patterns let you focus on a single voice or instrument or everyone in the room: Choose the directional Front (cardioid) pattern to focus on sound directly in front of the mic while rejecting sound from other sides; use the Front + Back (omni) pattern to pick up sounds all around the mic, such as multiple speakers or a group of performers. Use Ara on a desktop, boom, stand or even on the go, with an optional adapter and your mobile device. It’s plug-and-play simple, thanks to USB connectivity and class-compliant drivers. Pro-Grade Sound - 24-bit/96kHz high-resolution converters provide crisp, clear sound for applications ranging from podcasting to music production. Two Capsule Array Modes - Two-capsule mic array provides two user-friendly capture modes. Plug and Play - intuitive, plug-and-play setup and operation with support for Mac® and PC, plus iOS® and Android™ tablets and phones. Versatile Mounting - use with the integrated desktop mic stand or mount to a standard boom mic stand. Complete Solution - includes Ableton Live 11 audio production software, perfect for projects ranging from podcasts to music production. Product Specifications: Microphone Transfer Protocol - USB 2.0.
