The MicPort Pro appeared on our recommended list for Audio Interfaces Under $200 from May 2017 until December 2019.

Overview

The CEntrance MicPort Pro is a top rated plug-and-play USB audio interface that's built to discretely connect to microphones.

It has a compact profile that can directly mount to a mic, and housing its mic preamp and A/D converter. It essentially transforms regular microphones into USB mics, which allows you to continue using your preferred mic in recording, and at the same time free up valuable space on your desk.

It is meant to be a space saving solution for those who record everything through microphone, be it musical instruments, podcasting, singing and others.

Other features of the CEntrance MicPort Pro interface include zero-latency monitoring via its stereo headphone jack and a 48V phantom power for working with condenser mics.

If you have a favorite analog mic and want a convenient way of using it to record digitally, then get the CEntrance MicPort Pro if you can still find one for sale.
