Características y controles clave

• 3x Bigger Capsule: The Alias microphone features a significantly larger capsule compared to standard microphones, designed to capture a wider range of vocal tones for richer, more detailed sound.
• Patrón polar cardioide: This microphone utilizes a cardioid polar pattern, which primarily picks up sound from the front, reducing unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This is ideal for single-person use in streaming and podcasting.
• Monitoreo LED: Integrated LEDs on the microphone provide real-time visual feedback on your audio levels and mute status. Green lights indicate active audio, while red lights signify a muted microphone.
• RGB Downlight: A customizable RGB light emanates from below the microphone, allowing for personalized aesthetic integration with your setup.
• Montura de choque: The integrated shock mount helps to reduce vibrations and handling noise, ensuring clearer audio capture.
