Well it has finally happened Shure Microphone has finally improved upon the world famous SM58 Microphone, by introducing the SM58+X2u USB Digital Bundle. The latest offering from Shure is a USB Signal Adaptor that looks like a wireless handle with microphone gain control, volume and a monitoring control wheel. The handle also features built in phantom power. Dynamic or condenser microphones simply plug into the USB handle and you are ready to record
The spec sheet notes the USB devise has zero latency and the Monitor Mix Control can be used for blending microphone and playback audio. So now the go to vocal microphone can now be your go to digital on the go recording microphone. Sure says the X2u is plug and play and is compatible with Windows Vista, XP, 2000 (the jury is out on this), and Mac OS X 10.1 or later. So weather you are in your home studio, recording pod-casts on location or in the back of a tour bus recording the bands next big demo you can now grab the Shure SM58 and the X2u USB Signal Adaptor with your computer and know that you will get the legendary sound the SM58 is famous for.
For additional information on the X2u or any Shure product please contact my friends at JSS.net.
I have used this and it's great. It truly is plug and play. I am running XP, I plug it in and it worked. It also worked with SMAART. (I only have 1, it showed up in both channels so I couldn't do the transfer function)
