General

The invention of USB meant a great deal of progress in many fields. Take microphones, for instance. Thanks to this technology, USB microphones like the Shure PG 42 are able to transmit your recordings directly to your PC or Mac. You don't need a mixer or any external recording equipment, just your computer and the PG42 USB will do. Like any Shure product, the PG42 delivers outstanding audio quality. A large diaphragm ensures that your sound source is clearly reproduced, and the mic allows for plug & play control. Furthermore, the PG 42 is USB-powered, so as long as you have this mic and your computer with you, you'll always have a recording studio at your disposal!

Wrote the following about Shure PG42 large-diaphragm USB recording microphone
In een woord geweldig!
Stevig gebouwde microfoon, alles voelt heel solide aan.
Mooi warm en vol geluid, ook heel handig met de 3,5mm plug-in voor je koptelefoon.
Zit een goede shockmount bij en word geleverd in een mooie koffer die ook niet van de minste kwaliteit is.
Zeer zeker een aanrader!
