SENNHEISER PROFILE USB MICROPHONE PROVIDES EASE OF USE AND BEST-IN-CLASS AUDIO

Sennheiser today launched the Profile USB microphone , a cardioid condenser microphone that presents an easy and stylish solution for streaming and podcasting . It combines professional sound with direct accessibility of all functions , allowing streamers , podcasters , and gamers to fully focus on their content . The side-address microphone is available as a table stand version at an MRP 10900 and the Profile Streaming Set with a 3-point self-locking boom arm is available at an MRP 15999 starting today exclusively on Amazon . in
Putting audio quality and ease of use first At the heart of the Profile USB microphone is an award-winning Sennheiser condenser capsule , the KE 10 . Its cardioid pick-up pattern provides the typical attenuation of sound coming from the rear , making sure that the streamer ’ s voice is in focus .
In designing the Profile , Global product managers Benny Franke and Dennis Stegemerten also put an emphasis on ease of use . “ When you are recording your podcast or doing a live stream , you already have to worry about the content , perhaps room treatment , the camera set-up , interaction with your audience – the last thing you need in this situation is a complex audio setup ”, explains Franke . “ So , we tried to create tech that gets out of the way of your creative process .”
Stegemerten continues , “ The design is simple and efficient and does not overwhelm you . Profile is simply plugged into the USB-C port of your computer or tablet – your device will automatically recognize the microphone , and it ’ s ready to capture your voice . There is no need for an interface or any software , no additional window to keep open so that you can control the mic settings . One intuitive touch of a control directly on the mic – that ’ s all that is needed .”
Sharing his excitement around the launch of the Profile USB Microphone , Mr . Vipin Pungalia , Country Manager and Director- Sales Pro Audio at Sennheiser India said , “ At Sennheiser , we understand the evolving needs of content creators in the digital age . Our Profile USB Microphones are a testament to our commitment to providing reliable and high-quality audio equipment to podcasters , gamers , and streamers . We have invested in the latest technology and materials to deliver exceptional sound quality , durability , and design , ensuring that our users stand out with ease .”
At its front , the Profile USB Mic features a soft-touch , no-noise mute button , a gain control for the microphone volume , a mix control to set the balance between your voice and the computer / tablet audio , plus a volume control for headphone monitoring . Headphones or earphones can be connected via a 3.5 mm socket at the back of the Profile USB microphone .
LED rings on the Profile conveniently signal the operating status . When the LED ring around the gain control is green , the mic is ready to go . When the same light ring turns yellow at times or all of the time , the mic is clipping , and you need to reduce the mic volume . When the microphone has been muted , light rings around the mute button and the gain control light up red .
