During the 2018 NAMM Show in Anaheim, USA this week
a new studio quality USB microphone has been showcased in the form of the
beyerdynamic FOX, which combines a microphone, preamplifier, converter and headphone
amplifier in one handy desktop system. The beyerdynamic FOX microphone will be
available later this year during April 2018 from specialist stores and the
official beyerdynamic online store priced at € 179.
Features of the beyerdynamic FOX studio microphone
include front controls that provide access to the headphone amplifier,
microphone signal to the headphones volumes providing instant control. While a
button on the rear of the microphone regulates, the gain enables the use of the
FOX for, especially loud sources. The microphone also includes the obligatory
mute button, and a range of accessories are also available including a pop
shield, mounting base, clamp and more.
The compact microphone has been designed to provide
everything you need for capturing recordings on the go and takes the place of a
traditional microphone, preamplifier, converter and associate cables normally
required to record audio. The beyerdynamic FOX guarantees “excellent sound
quality”, say its creators, whether it be used for recording vocals, speech,
performances, acoustic guitar, pod casts, gaming or YouTube videos.
