USB VS. XLR MICROPHONES

So what’s the difference between USB and XLR microphones?

USB microphones like Yeti Nano plug directly into your computer without the need for any additional equipment. This makes them a great choice for people without prior audio experience because you can simply connect the microphone and you’re ready to go. USB microphones feature hassle-free level control and headphone monitoring directly from the mic itself.

XLR microphones like Ember can be connected to external audio processors to further refine the sound before hitting your recorder, but they require a dedicated audio interface to connect to your computer. There can also be a bit of a learning curve with the additional gear and setup required. To record using an XLR microphone, you’ll need to plug the mic into an audio interface and connect the interface to your computer using a USB or Thunderbolt cable.
