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.

What customers say about "Features"

Apogee MiC 96k Professional Quality Microphone for iPad, iPhone, and Mac

The sound is so good...you'll never have to worry about traveling from the comfort of your home studio.
I love this mic. I have used it to record several songs now. This mic is so easy to use with my macbook or iPhone.
Apogee got compact size, amazing sound quality, simplicity, and rugged/solid build all in one product.
Love my new mic. I use it to record voice over auditions. Sounds great. Travels so compactly.
The price looks a little high until you get it and start using it. I don't have obscenely expensive mics.
