INTRODUCTION
The D1014CUSB is a universal condenser microphone with USB connector, which does not need any drivers. It
is compatible with both Windows and MAC OS X. This microphone features a cardioid pickup pattern and a wide
frequency response (30 Hz - 18.000 Hz), making it suitable for nearly all sound sources.
The clear and natural sound of the D1014CUSB makes this microphone perfect for use in podcast recording
situations, multimedia presentations and many other applications. Low self noise without ambient noise and the
high output level underscore the high quality of this microphone.
Package includes: D1014CUSB microphone, shock mount, zip bag, USB cable.
Recommended accessories (optional): pop filter D914, reflection filter LDRF1, microphone stand S5B
IMPORTANT NOTE: Always use a pop filter (such as LD Systems D914) when using condenser microphones for
vocal recordings. It will avoid unwanted loud popping noises on recordings and prevents particles and droplets
of liquid from getting onto the diaphragm. Using the supplied shock mount reduces footfall noise to a minimum.
