I do lots of voiceover work. This is the mic I am using for most of my auditions.

The setup is easy, just remember that on the IPAD/IPOD, go to the privacy section and make sure your audio application is allowing the use of a mic. The mic is small but it is good at isolating background sounds and focusing on the voice. I do English and Spanish voiceover work and with the rolling r's and using the letter S, a pop filter is mandatory.

For English the pop filter will soften the S and T as well. I still use my EV RE20 for final production but if you have a great voice studio, you could possibly use this for final production. I wish the included cords were longer. I also wish it had an included headphone jack for monitoring. Having said that it still deserves 5 stars. I do lots of voiceover work.

(I'm reviewing this as an iphone user, but this mic also works with ipads and Apple computers.) I bought my first smart phone a couple weeks ago, and chose the iphone simply because it was smaller than most of the others I was interested in and would fit in my pocket.

I'd heard of garageband but thought it was probably a toy app. Then I found reviews of the Apogee Mic which, when combined with an iphone and garageband, could actually record very good sound. That's when I got excited about my new phone! I've bought thousands of dollars worth of home recording gear over the last 25 years, including several microphones, but the sound that I get from this Apogee Mic 96k with a bit of Garageband reverb is better than most of the sound that I've gotten in the past. I'm no professional engineer, and probably made a lot of mistakes with my other complicated equipment, but this iphone/garageband/Apogee Mic combo is dead easy and great sounding. The main control to set is the gain switch on the mic itself. I was initially going to buy the original Apogee Mic for $199, but I needed the lightning cable and didn't think that one came with it.

I also wanted a mic stand adapter. This 96k version comes with both those things for less money than if I'd bought them separately with the cheaper mic.

I'm guessing this is the exact same mic except this one is able to record at higher quality if your software supports it, which iphone garageband doesn't. Both versions come with a tabletop tripod, and you can use any generic camera tripod if you have one. I think this setup is perfect for the person who wants to do fairly simple but good sounding recordings.

The iphone garageband interface is limited compared to other recording software available, but I can get 32 tracks going (I think) on my iphone 5s, so there's a lot I can do with that many tracks. The mic doesn't come with a carrying case, you have to buy that extra if you want it. It's a little smaller than an average mic, but feels substantial. The lightning cable is pretty short, so you have to have your iphone/ipad/mac computer close by, unless you buy the optional longer cable. The mic runs off the juice of my iphone, so when I'm out of battery I have to wait to recharge my phone to do any more recording. That may not be the case with the ipad/mac.

And garageband may be a lot more substantial on the ipad/mac as well, and this mic will also work with some other recording software on the ipad and mac. My only personal experience is with the iphone, so that's why I'm coming at it from that angle. The mic seems to work well from several feet away as well as several inches away. I haven't found that I need a windscreen either. I wish this mic worked with windows computers, but other reviews I've read said no. It also has a USB cable and a 30-pin cable for older Apple devices.

I had so much fun with it tonight that I sang until my throat gave out. I'm not planning on doing anything too serious with it, but I think I could if I wanted to. If you're any kind of a musician with an iphone, how can you pass up a recording studio you can carry in your pockets? While the microphone itself is possibly the best in the low price range for sound quality in a USB mike, it lacks instructions, to be frank, for use on iOS devices. Here is what I have discovered so far that I do not like about working with the iPhone 5SE: There is no indication of whether or not you are using an external mike when, for a few examples, using it in FaceTime, on the phone, or even when recording video, and when using it on the phone, at least, it appears to have a detrimental effect on the sound quality, though I do not know if that is because it is actually using the phone's own microphone and I'm holding it far away or because of the connection to the microphone. On video, it does improve the quality of sound I normally get, but then if it is being used at all it is because the microphone is close to the face whereas even in doing selfie videos the microphone on the phone would not be close.

As for use on the PC, it is great. Remember if you are trying to get great quality in something like Adobe Audition, there is a gain wheel on the side of the microphone. You can adjust the gain to the best volume without additional background noise you do not want. Would/could be better if it was an XLR combo microphone, but that is really the only thing I would change. I am a professional broadcaster and perform a myriad of voice work. The broadcast standard for mics, although there's no shortage of studio experts who disagree, is the RE 20. So that's my reference point.

I find that this little mic is as good or better than the RE 20. The sound is excellent, although it takes some serious mic technique to keep from 'popping' the mic. I will soon be buying a pop filter; they're a cheap simple fix.

The main benefit of this little beauty is that it's a broadcast quality mic (Not a YouTube/gamer/podcast quality mic). For most people, a cheap mic will do. But for the extra money, with the MiC 96k, you'll always have an excellent travel mic for when you need professional grade voice audio. It comes with a cord to plug into your iPhone. I use it with TwistedWave app. It also has a USB cord that I use with my MacPro and Adobe CreativeCloud. UPDATE: I NEEDED TO GET A MIC SOFTWARE UPDATE FROM THE APOGEE WEB SITE.

It was easy & the mic worked with the latest iOS update. Ignore the crybabies! I'm a VO artist ans Singer and I was thrilled when I heard about the MiC 96k because it is all I ever wanted in a VO recording mic!! It's tiny, lightweight, ultraportable, and conects directly to my macbook pro via USB, and sounds amazing! It picks up the smallest sounds although you can adjust the gain to your preference and need.

It is the first USB mic I buy cause I don't really like the sound quality of USB mics. I'm a diapraghm/condensor mic kinda' gal! But the sound quality of the MiC 96K is just what I needed in such a powerful, tiny, weightless, portable mic!! (I'm always on the go!) Best thing is, I can connect it directly to my iPhone or iPad and record with the Garageband app, so I don't have to carry my heavy computer with me 😉.

It's just perfect! And customer service rocks! I was really excited about this mic after seeing lots of videos where people used it. I really really wanted to love it. I like the size and the easy plug and play. I'm giving 2 stars because the design is very appealing and nice, but the sound is not good. I bought it for singing.

I was so dissapointed. There were a lot of weird distortions in the sound, it hurt to listen to it sounded so bad.

Previously I have been using just my Apple EarPods to record which sounded so much richer with way less background noise and no weird high pitched squeeking noises through my headset. Maybe I got a bad one I dont know but the recording also felt flat and lacking in depth. Seems really surprising that my $30 EarPods with mic had more depth to the sound. All I wanted was something that would pick up my words a little clearer and crisper than the EarPods.

It did do that but with the added side effects of unwanted background noise, hissing, and a recording that sounded flat compared to the EarPods. In addition to this the mic sounds too bright for my taste. And the latency is also annoying. It doesn't make sense how they could release the mic like this with the latency issues especially when they have heavily advertised this mic for singers and musicians.

I believe the sound quality of the microphone is decent. However, a couple of BIG flaws made me take off four stars. The cable connection at the microphone base is one of them. The slightest touch to the cable when connected leads to it being disconnected (the light turns red and/or yellow) and you get lots of loud feedback. One needs to fiddle with the connection to fix it, and it takes some fiddling for sure (other reviewers have complained about this). Hey Apogee, did you guys know about this before releasing this microphone and charging $250 for it? Also, at random times during recording, I get a static sound that lasts for a few seconds and records onto the track.

Also not cool. Hey Apogee, did you guys know about this before releasing this microphone and charging $250 for it?

I would steer clear of this mic. These two issues make this microphone a frustration to use. There are a few other mics out there with much better ratings and a better price as well. Did I mention latency issues when using Logic Pro?
