Studio Tone Comes to an Affordable USB Condenser

The Mackie EM-91CU EleMent series LDC brings the studio sound of the EM-91C condenser mic to a convenient USB format. Like its predecessor, this mic is built to provide two things: accurate response and extreme durability — all at a budget-friendly price. The large-diaphragm capsule is well suited to almost any application. You can throw it in front of a singer for warmth and brilliance, or use it to capture the intricate details of a fingerstyle performance with equal success. And thanks to its plug-and-play USB operation, the EM-91CU is perfect for content creation, podcasting, and online meetings on the go. Wherever you use it, the EM-91CU showcases rock-solid durability and sonic versatility. The EM-91CU includes a shockmount for noise reduction and a USB-A to USB-B cable for instant connectivity. And because of its onboard Mackie Onyx circuitry, the EM-91CU is able to deliver big tone, low noise, and high dynamic range. If accuracy and durability are what you need from a USB mic, the Mackie EM-91CU EleMent series USB condenser from Sweetwater is a great choice.

Mackie EM-91CU EleMent Series USB Condenser Microphone Features:

  • USB version of Mackie’s EM-91C desktop LDC
  • Onboard Onyx preamp circuitry supplies big tone, low noise, and high dynamic range
  • Professional-quality sound
  • No knobs, no switches, no fuss — just plug and go
  • Durable construction

Great Mic!

I'm using this for zoom calls and live streaming and it's perfect! If you are looking for a case for this mic I recommend the SKB iSeries Case 9x7x4. The molded foam that comes in the box with the mic fits absolutely perfectly inside the case after you take out the included foam.
Rated 5/5

Great sound

I added two of these mics to my studio and remote. I bought one for one of my hosts and whether I use it with my in studio computer or laptop on remotes the response and overall sound is very clear. Thanks

Great budget USB mic

For the cost, this is a great microphone. I use it for a very basic recording application of voice and guitar, to upload song videos to Youtube and for online tutoring. For that purpose, it performs great. I just wish it would have a little bit more gain.

Rated 5/5

Total Beginner

I'm a total beginner at recording anything and got this mic because a friend suggested it. So my review is coming from a place of total ignorance. That being said, it was super easy to start using and seems to play well with my Mac. I did have to look up how exactly to get Discord to pick up the mic and I don't remember if it was in the instruction booklet or I googled it but either way it was easy to find and just a matter of selecting it in settings one time. Since then it's been there have been no issues. I haven't heard an actual recording I've done with it because they're still being processed but feedback from everyone else in the call is that my audio is super clear now.
