Simple sonic improvement
What a difference a good microphone makes. Mackie's EM-91CU has a use for just about everyone. Musicians, podcasters, and YouTubers stepping up from built-in mics will love it. So will students and teachers engaged with remote learning, and anyone who uses Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype or the like for video-conferencing. Yup, I think that's almost everyone these days.
The EM-91CU's large diaphragm is especially great for rendering clear, articulate vocals, whether you're recording or broadcasting. And the and cardioid polar pattern picks up just what is close to and in front of the mic, reducing background noise to a minimum. It's a brilliant, cost-effective solution for vastly improved audio quality.
Musician-friendly
The EM-91CU is a great introduction to studio-quality microphones. Onboard preamp circuitry delivers clear tone, low noise, and wide dynamic range. And the included Waveform™ OEM recording software bundle opens up the world of the digital audio workstation (DAW) to burgeoning musicians and producers.
Mackie has been making professional audio gear since 1988. Their products are known for being practical and durable. The EM-91CU is no exception — its burly construction will stand up to years of regular use.
