In addition to using a design that AKG feels will look good on camera, the company says its Ara also supports multiple mounting options, including sitting on a desktop, mounting it to a standard stand, or attaching it to a boom stand. AKG is here to take on that model with Ara, which features 24-bit 96kHz converters, zero-latency monitoring with a headphone output, and controls for gain, output volume, and muting. We’ve seen a number of cheaper options hit the market in recent years, the most popular arguably being the Blue Yeti mic. Simply select from two pickup patterns, plug in, and create content anywhere inspiration leads you. The all-new AKG Ara USB microphone delivers pro-quality sound to all of your creative projects. A simpler way to create has arrived! ✨🎙️✨
