What customers say about "Size & Weight"
 
Apogee MiC 96k Professional Quality Microphone for iPad, iPhone, and Mac
  • It's small and rugged for portability.
  • I was truly delighted with the size, ease price and performance.
  • This mic is just what i needed, i can going down the road, just turn on my mac pro and sing about things i see going down the highway.
  • To be perfect it just had to come with a little longer cord and a "scaled" gain selector...for eg a 1-2-3-4-5 levels selector would have been very helpful.
