This review is from: CAD U1 USB Dynamic Recording Microphone (Electronics)
My girlfriend got me this mic for my birthday as I like to write music in my free time. This mic works beautifully for the price and anyone who says otherwise probably didn’t read the instructions that came with the mic. There is actually a setting on your computer (for PCs) called either “AGC” or “Mic Boost” if this is enabled on your mic it will be very sensitive. I too was experiencing buzzing when I first plugged in my mic but after READING THE INSTRUCTIONS I found that if you turn off this setting on the mic it will eliminate all those extra noises you don’t want to record. So I went into my mics settings in the control panel and turned of the “AGC” option and now the mic records beautifully and I have no extra noises in my recordings.

Great mic, people on here are WRITING bad reviews becuase they don’t know how to use it!!!, September 28, 2012

This review is from: CAD U1 USB Dynamic Recording Microphone (Electronics)
Okay you guys, i read many of these reviews before getting this product, and they said it picks up all these radio signal sounds and such but there is any easy solution to completely getting rid of that horid buz sound. I bought this thinking what the heck its , cheapest usb mic on the market. At first when recording i heard very annoying sounds, so I began to do some research online about what causes this sound. See most laptops and some desktops, actually most desktops now days have two pronged electricity power cords; it’s missing the third one. The third one makes the device(computer) grounded meaning electricity can’t pass through all the computer’s ports and such. This electric current goes through the usb port of the mic thus causing the buz sound. Simply if you have a laptop unplug the computer and the mic will work amazingly!!! On desktop computers, if you don’t have a back up battery then simply buy a three prong adapter from radioshack and add it on to the end of the desktop’s power cord. This will also get rid of this buzzing sound that people are leaving horrible reviews about. The mic itself is amazing for the price it could be easily be compared equal to some hundred dollar mics!!! The plastic stand that it has works very well. Also, the usb plug is gold plated which allows more data to pass to the computer allowing better quality in recordings. Not only this, the mics cord is actual at least a meter and a half long which is absolutely awesome. Like most professional mics, a windscreen and a pop filter are very important to bring the best quality of this item. I use this for vocals and rapping and it works very well. I actually became disappointed with all the bad reviews thinking that their mic is broken or is a cheap piece of trash, so please support this review so people see it at the top, so they know how to use a usb mic!!!
thanks for reading, Mattinthebox

Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
This review is from: CAD U1 USB Dynamic Recording Microphone (Electronics)
One of my hobbies is online karaoke, and I’ve been on a quest to find a good quality digital microphone that will make my voice sound like… well, me 🙂 I’m only an amateur singer doing this for fun, so there was no need to spend hundreds of dollars on a top-quality professional mic. This one, however, fit the bill. Easy enough on the pocketbook, but still high quality– my voice sounds GREAT when I record with it.

I do find that I have to keep a bit of distance away, in order to avoid the popping sound that comes with pronounced “p”s, as another reviewer mentioned. But this generally isn’t a problem, and the mic is still pretty good about filtering out background noises even when I’m sitting a foot and a half away from it.

Oh, and the fact that it is shaped like a regular mic, and comes with the stand? That’s just icing on the cake. I didn’t think I’d have a need for a stand, but am I glad this package came with it– I can’t imagine what I’d do without it, now!
