Traditionally, producers and engineers are limited to recording performances with one specific microphone, that has one specific polar pattern, for one specific purpose. Specificity, of course, has its advantages, but it also comes at a financial cost. This being a barrier for most, M-Audio has created Uber Mic, a microphone with four polar patterns—cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8 and single point stereo—to bring limitless potential to your studio environment.   

With the Cardioid directional pattern, you’ll record excellent single sound sources while eliminating unwanted room reflections and background noise. The Omnidirectional pattern, with its sensitivity at all angles, captures 360-degree sound making it a perfect mic for adding some ambiance to your recordings or capturing a group of sound sources like a choir. The Figure 8 pattern is ideal for capturing sound sources simultaneously from two sides of the mic. And finally, the Stereo pattern picks up audio from the left and right, producing a true stereo image.

Whatever your recording requirements, Uber Mic guarantees premium studio-grade capture every time. Fusing pristine A/D converters that provide 16-bit resolution digital audio, your recordings will exhibit an exceptional dynamic range that captures every nuance and subtlety of your performance. When combined with a wide range frequency response (30Hz-20kHz) and sample rates of up to 48kHz, you can be sure your recordings will be completely clear and true to the original source.
