Review on UHURU UM-1100 Gaming Microphone: USB Computer Mic for PC, PS4, Mac | Two Pickup Patterns, Zero-Latency Headphone Monitoring Port, Gain Control - Perfect for Podcasting, Gaming, and Streaming by Antonio Lemm

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Heavy/premium feel, LED backlit and can be cardioid or 360 degree polar pattern

I bought three microphones to test and my ear is not a high fidelity audio instrument. The solution was to have everyone recording the same source of pink noise and then do a multi-track mix of the mics' recordings so you could compare them. Another mic here https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07SWXMFJV and here https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08N653H92 UHURU's standout features are the quality build feel and the ability to switch Cardioid to omni on the fly And of course with LED lighting. The LED is not controlled and does not react, but simply changes color statically with smooth color transitions. The pickup type is a single knob that rotates 270 degrees from cardioid to omni or vice versa. The button has a stop position in the middle to mute the microphone. I see that someone doing a broadcast and recording an interview with a microphone would like that option. Use an A-to-Type-C cable to connect the microphone and features a 3.5mm headphone jack on the side for the monitor and volume control for monitor volume. A button to toggle between cardioid and omni modes adjusts the mic volume so you don't change the pattern as you approach mid mute mode, just lower the sensitivity. It would be nice if this was cut out so you could feel the setting without looking into the mic for a more accurate shot. The microphone is internally threaded for arm use and includes a pop filter. Use cases, this seemed best for a small end user, meaning ZealSound fits the bill for the "field reporter” and VKS is a big studio. where your monitor will come from the sound card. UHURU sits between the two and has some good features if you're capturing audio and video. **Disclosure: I received a product sample from the Revain Vine program for an honest and unbiased evaluation.
