Apogee HypeMic USB Microphone with Analog Compressor

Precise dynamic control is essential for professional sound, and the Apogee Hype Mic delivers this with its integrated studio-grade analog compressor. This feature balances audio levels in real time, eliminating the need for extensive post-processing and ensuring your recordings have consistent, polished clarity.

The microphone’s cardioid condenser capsule captures sound with exceptional detail while minimizing background noise, thanks to its -108 dB (A-weighted) self-noise rating. This sensitivity of -36 dBVfs at 94 dB SPL ensures every nuance of your voice or instrument is faithfully reproduced, even in quieter passages.

Supporting up to 130 dB SPL maximum sound pressure level, the Hype Mic handles loud sources without distortion, making it ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, and dynamic performances. The 24-bit/96 kHz A/D conversion preserves audio fidelity, delivering studio-quality digital recordings that meet professional standards.
