Plug-and-play simplicity
We understand that setting up a podcast session or live stream can be overwhelming but capturing pristine audio doesn’t have to be. With the Profile, one simple connection is all you need to achieve the sound you’re looking for. Powered by USB-C, the Profile puts audio quality and ease-of-use first without the need for an interface or complex software. Your device will automatically recognize the Profile, truly making it a plug-and-play experience.
The sound you’re looking for
If you’re just getting started or you’re a seasoned pro looking to simplify your setup, the Profile delivers a natural, warm sound that accentuates the body and presence of the human voice. Built around a German engineered capsule, this cardioid condenser microphone provides a sound that will impress both you and your audience, right out of the box. And to ensure you’re getting the best sound the multi-function LED ring turns from green to orange to indicate when your signal is too hot.
Control at your fingertips
Don’t get us wrong, software has its place… but the ability to control your sound with the twist of a dial makes all the difference when you’re in the moment. Gain Control allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the microphone, effectively setting the level for your session. Mix Control allows you to balance the levels between your microphone and your device audio so you can monitor what matters to you. The dedicated Volume Control gives you quick access to easily adjust your headphone level while a soft-touch mute button allows you to silence your microphone discreetly.
Form and function
Quality audio is all about microphone placement. The Profile Streaming Set features a boom arm with a sleek and modern design, ideal for on-camera applications. Integrated cable management and an included 3 m USB-C cable provide flexibility with positioning and help to remove clutter from your workspace. For best results, place the Profile within 15 cm (6 in) of the sound source to ensure clarity and warmth in your sound.
