Meet Your New Favorite USB Mic

The Earthworks ICON USB Microphone offers the same sound of their acclaimed ICON Pro in a USB format. The ICON is the first USB microphone offered by Earthworks, and color the content creators here at Sweetwater impressed. Firstly, it provides a tuned frequency response that’s ideal for video conferencing, streaming, podcasting, and other content creation formats. The included USB cable and simple plug-and-play operation make the ICON an excellent option for those who work from home. Plus, other premium features include a built-in headphone output, onboard gain and mute controls, LED status indicators, and a built-in pop filter. Whether it’s your first or fifth USB microphone, Earthworks has packed the ICON with enough features to ensure it will be your last.

A handsome on-camera companion

If there’s one thing that Earthworks microphones are known for — aside from their studio-quality sound — it’s their attractive styling. The ICON is no different. Its stainless steel body shines on camera with you, adding a beautiful touch of luxury to your video feed. Plus, the body is resistant to corrosion, stains, and other bumps and bruises that mics are prone to encounter throughout their lifetime.

Triad-Orbit M2-R mic adapter

The Triad-Orbit M2-R short-stem orbital mic adapter brings the convenience of a ball-swivel design to standard threaded mic stands. Here at Sweetwater, we know how crucial precise mic placement is, and the swiveling design of the M2-R makes it easy to find the sonic sweet spot. And the short-stem design lets you make fine adjustments to your mic positioning in tight spaces. You can seriously enhance any standard threaded microphone stand or boom arm with the Triad-Orbit M2-R short-stem orbital mic adapter.

Earthworks ICON USB Microphone Features:

  • Attractive USB microphone for video conferencing and content creation
  • USB format requires no external hardware for operation

Reviews

Quite possibility the best mic I've ever owned
This is reliable, aesthetically pleasing, and high-quality. It's given me several years of reliable service and I'd recommend it again in a heartbeat! It does have a tendency to pick up all noises, so if you live near a noisy street, you might get background sounds, but otherwise it's stellar. In a studio environment you can't go wrong with this!
Great microphone works seamlessly.
Great microphone and works seamlessly on all my apple devices. Perfect for on the go. Also Sweetwater, they were very sweet when working with me and made shipping dummy proof, thanks for that you're awesome.

EARTHWORKS ICON USB IS AWESOME! TRUE PORTABILITY!
I needed a USB microphone that could give me great sound quality AND be able to run off the power supplied by my iphone without an adapter and extra battery to lug around. The Earthworks Icon USB mic covers both splendidly but it was when I started editing my audio tracks that I was amazed at the clarity and lack of noise this thing produced. It sounds as good or better that the condenser mic setup in my studio. I don't know how they did it but I'm glad they did. It simply works! Thanks to Earthworks and Sweetwater!

A Sound So True, I Had to Buy Two..
…because my girlfriend grabbed the first one I got for her podcast. For years, I have used only the various Yeti mics for USB audio. And they have never let me down. Until I heard the Icon. How good is the Icon? Let's just say that my church recenty received a donation of several perfectly excellent Yetis.

Fantastic Mic
This is a major step up from my old Yeti. Sound quality and build quality are amazing. A shiny object that is worth it! I use it for podcasting and videos.
