All I want for Christmas is an X2u…
So Christmas is getting closer, and your folks still don’t know what present to buy for you. Or perhaps, you’re a budding recording artists, but don’t want to spend the tonnes of money needed to set up your own Abbey Road studio? If any of these sound like you, then here’s something that you should DEFINITELY put on your Christmas list!
The Shure X2u XLR-USB adapter allows you to connect any microphone straight into your computer via USB. It needs no extra hardware, and being a plug and play device, needs no software either. A recording studio at your own desk – or wherever you like for that matter.
Unlike similar products available, the X2u boasts two key features – Zero Latency Monitoring and Monitor Mix Control.
The X2u has its own dedicated headphone output. By plugging your headphones straight into the X2u, you can hear the sound live, with Zero Latency.
Monitor Mix Control balances the live audio feed with the computer playback – much like a DJ’s cross fader – letting you choose exactly what comes through to your cans.
There are also two USB large diaphragm condenser microphone available – PG27-USB for instruments, and the PG42-USB for vocals. For more details, visit our Home Recording page.
Watch the video below to see how easy the X2u is to use.
Happy shopping…
