Looking for an easy way to get a single mic into your computer for creating a podcast or for a quick recording? The guys from MXL dropped by today with their new MicMate – definitely a cool tool! The MicMate has a USB jack on one end, and an XLR on the other. There’s an LED indicating the unit is working, and a 3-position pad switch. Just plug in your mic, and hook the MicMate up to your computer’s USB port, and you’re ready to go. The MicMate is powered via USB, and can provide phantom power for condenser mics. Best of all, the thing costs less than $80. We have them in stock.
