 Very clean sound...goodbye mixer! Sep 04, 2009
By Spec
I have used the MicMate Pro for several months and I can say that it has exceeded my expectations. As a WinXP user, I had no problems with installation...after plugging into the mini USB port, I let Windows automatically install its own USB audio driver and I was good to go. The XLR cable and USB jack connects quite snugly, so there should be no worries of accidental disconnects.
As sound quality goes, not only do my recordings sound great with my condenser mic, but the MicMate Pro introduces absolutely no hiss or hum.
In regards to features, the MicMate Pro has a knob to control the amount of gain to your audio software. In addition, it includes a mini headphone jack (and volume control) so that you can monitor your recordings...as a voiceover person, this is a must have.
I have two minor gripes about the product:
- It has no phantom power on/off switch (not a problem if you use only condenser mics)
- The knobs can be a little flakey when adjusting the gain or headphone volume
With that said, the MicMate Pro is a terrific product. It not only sounds great and works great with laptops, it is small enough to fit in your laptop bag.

Check Your Audio MIDI Setup! Oct 27, 2011
By James LeJeune
A warning to all Mac users looking to record with this USB preamp -- it records a scratchy noisy signal rendering anything you record with it completely unusable. And, contrary to the manufacturers claim of 48Khz recording, it maxes out at 16Khz on my Mac. Sent it back and I'm switching to a Shure X2U.
UPDATE -- Be sure to check your Audio MIDI setup. I had to play around with the settings to get this to work properly. It fixed the noise issue, though I'm still unsure what actually made the fix.

May be perfect Jan 21, 2011
By Mark Twain
I have had this only a short time, so I can't comment on durability. I can comment on how it works. This unit is just as described. It is easy to use. My computer had no problems recognizing it. No problem with background noise from the unit. One review mentioned something about flimsy control knobs. This just isn't so. The controls are solid and work smoothly. I will use this for connecting my Sennheiser MD 421 mic to my laptop for on-the-go voice recording while I'm away from a recording studio. It's a great, portable unit. I especially like the way I can easily attach my headphones and get direct, no-delay audio while recording.

 Ok solution for using a real mic Jun 30, 2011
By Michael
When I don't have access to my Behringer Audio Mixer or another preamp solution, this portable usb preamp does the trick. It's handy for carry along in my laptop case with my mic, which would be hard to do with my audio mixer, so this is great for doing recordings in the field or impromptu ones. It is a bit longer than I imagined, but that's just my opinion. Otherwise, it seems to function ok. A bit pricey though in my opinion.
