Mackie EM-Series, Limited Edition White USB Condenser Microphone (EM-USB-LTD)

This USB mic is super easy to set up and use, it is a USB microphone so it has a audio interface installed in it already so you can simply connect it straight to your laptop without a whole separate interface. Yes it does come with a WAVEFORM OEM software download, to download it just simply redeem the code in the card that comes inside your package. I use this mic and the waveform software to record my accordion🪗 solos and it has great audio. It's a high quality build fully metal so it's sturdy and has some weight to it. And the all white touch to it is super nice.

I've had a few USB condenser mics (all for different purposes), but was looking for one specifically with a headphone jack for monitoring, adjustable nobs, a decent stand, an appealing aesthetic, and USBC compatibility (mac preferably). The Mackie almost made it, but unfortunately it failed in two aspects 1) no zero latency monitoring (Yes, you can trick it into doing it from a windows PC in settings, but it is not adjustable). I do not understand why a mic would be manufactured with a jack and no way to actually monitor the audio through headphones. 2) USBC -- It is not compatable with a USBC-USBC cable. I have a million of these, and I cannot use it with this mic UNLESS I'm using a Dongle as a middle-man. This makes it almost impossible to natively use the cable out the box with a Macbook, or ultrabook without a USB-A. It's a solid mic otherwise if you're on windows (as I was able to test it), but it doesn't work on the go for what I needed it do.
