Thanks to a tech boost, videoconferencing is sounding better than ever. Connect one of these high-quality microphones to your computer's USB port and dial up the call using business telephony software. The only sound ringing in your ears will be that of business moving forward.
1. Marshall Electronics MXL Studio 24 USB
($170)
MXL borrows technology from its professional-level USB mics, like
the .009, for the more reasonably priced Studio 24. Business
users will feel--and hear--the quality of this mic's true 24-bit
recording technology and travel-friendly design and construction.
2. Blue Microphones Snowflake ($33)
The budget-friendly Snowflake's elegant, slide-on, foldable
design, surprisingly high audio quality and ease of use--it's
pretty much a plug-and-play mic--make it the must-use conference
call audio upgrade of the moment.
3. Audio-technica ATR2500-USB Cardioid Condenser
($100)
Backed by technology similar to that employed by professional
recording artists, the ATR2500 features high-fidelity audio
sampling rates and very low noise. The downside here is bulk:
Clocking in at the size and weight of an office phone, it's far
from portable.
4. Samson Meteor Mic ($110)
With its retro good looks, the chrome-plated Meteor will be the
clear winner in the mic wars among design enthusiasts. It
features solid audio quality and clever foldable legs that adjust
for optimal positioning while recording (and make portability a
snap).
