sE Electronic NEOM USB Podcast Condenser Microphone

Studio-quality condenser microphone

The NEOM has been designed to provide studio-level sound quality in a compact and versatile USB package. This means that you can still achieve the broadcast quality of revered studio condenser microphones, without the additional components you typically need. This is achieved through the use of a meticulously designed and tailor-made 16mm condenser capsule. The capsule allows the NEOM to capture every frequency within audible range clearly and evenly in full 24-bit, 192kHz processing. No matter what device you are plugging into, whether it's your handheld mobile or studio desktop, the NEOM delivers ultra-high audio fidelity that pays particular attention to the vocal range, bringing you to the front and centre of your recording with a wide stereo field and excellent soundstage.

Immaculate audio fidelity doesn't stop there, sE Electronics NEOM has been designed with a cardioid polar pattern. An industry standard for condenser microphones, cardioid has a narrow field of pickup with a wide angle of rejection around the sides and rear of the microphone. This effectively reduces any unwanted ambience or extraneous noise within your room from noisy computer fans or mechanical computer keyboards, allowing you to stay at the centre of your recordings at all times.

Built for performance

Unlike most other USB microphones, the NEOM is a side-addressing microphone, allowing you to easily position your NEOM to where it needs to be to achieve the best vocal sound in your room. With an all-metal construction and integrated shock mount, the NEOM can effectively reduce any handling noise that may occur from any bumps to a studio desk or workstation that might vibrate through the microphone, keeping your signal crystal clear at all times. Travel-friendly, compact and sturdy, the NEOM is compatible with most professional studio equipment, thanks to the universally-sized thread and complimentary microphone clip.

Intuitive and handy controls

Presenting all the controls you need at your fingertips, with NEOM you won't need to pull up any software to make any adjustments on the fly unless you want to! Designed for live-streamers, podcasters and musicians alike, the NEOM features a flexible front panel that means you won't even need to crack a manual to understand the functionality.

Three simple dials feature on the front of the unit, offering control over your levels for microphone gain, microphone level and playback level, with the microphone gain dial featuring an LED backlight colour changing dial that indicates your input levels to avoid any clipping when in the red. Maintain your levels on the fly and ensure your audience get the best audio possible with no audible distortion or clipping to enhance their engagement with your content.

Additionally, a cleverly-placed LED mute button allows for immediate on the fly control over what's broadcasted, and what's not. Ideal for intervals or short breaks to quickly mute your microphone when you're moving away from your keyboard during a gaming stream or podcast.

Dial-in the perfect monitoring levels

A vital part of live-streaming, recording or podcasting is ensuring that you can hear yourself and your content appropriately. Streaming with an unbalanced monitoring level could mean that your audience does enjoy the full audio experience and is not fully engaged in your content. To alleviate such problems, the sE Electronics NEOM features separate headphone volume controls for your microphone and playback level, you can dial in how much of each source you hear independently.

Plug and play compatibility with desktop and mobile

Free from any difficult and tedious setups that will inhibit your creativity, the NEOM features a universal plug-and-play USB connection for both mobile and desktop devices. This means that whether you're at the studio using your Windows or Mac PC or on the go inbetween rehearsals sessions with only your Android or iOS mobile, you can record your ideas in stunning 24-bit, 192kHz sample rate clarity. Capturing every nuance is vital in ensuring your recordings bolster the emotion and feel you need to convey. Thankfully, the full frequency response range is captured through the 16mm condenser capsule in ultra-low latency to track your ideas no matter where in the world you are. As NEOM is a USB microphone, no external power supply is needed, lightening your carrying load for compact and efficient travelling.
