## Description

The WordSentry USB unidirectional adjustable 19" gooseneck conference computer microphone will provide unparalleled high quality recording into any PC desktop, laptop, tablet, mac, etc. via USB connectivity. This USB desk microphone is designed for hands free recording, gaming, VoIP, pod casts, Stitch, Google Docs, Zoom, SKYPE, speech recognition, dictation, PS4, web video conferencing and communication. A perfect computer microphone for recording into any recording software program. Uni-directional noise cancelling technology with cardioid usb microphone – Focuses on the voice in front of the computer microphone and suppresses unwanted noise from the sides and back. This is in contrast to omnidirectional usb microphones, which pick up sound equally from all directions of the microphone. Specially engineered to allow for more distance between the mic and the sound source while reducing unwanted noise. The cardioid family of microphones are commonly used as vocal or speech microphones, since they are good at rejecting sounds from other directions. ECS-WSGM-USB Specifications: Directional Characteristics: Unidirectional Cardioid Polar Pattern: Heart Style Element: Electret condenser Frequency Response: 40Hz to 16KHz Output Impedance: 600-Ohm + 30% Open Circuit Sensitivity: -40dB +/- 2dB (0 dB = 1 VPa at 1KHz) Sn/Ratio: 65db Base Dimensions: (H X D X W):129 x 89 x 36 mm /5.0 x 3.5 x 1.4 inches Base Weight: 1 lb 6.3 oz Complete Weight: 1 lb 13.2 oz Gooseneck Microphone Dimensions: 482.6 mm / 19 inches Base Connector: USB B Female Compatible Systems: All versions of Windows and all versions of MAC, PS4 ECS-WSGM-USB Package Contents: Gooseneck microphone Microphone base 10 foot USB A Male to USB B Male cord Two windscreen sponges

Review: Incredible build and sound quality for the price - I was skeptical when I came across this specific product. I was in the need for a good general-purpose microphone to replace a built-in defective mic on my laptop - something I could leave plugged into the docking station and give me plenty of placement options. What I received far surpassed my expectations. First, the build quality. The microphone consists of a base that contains the electronics, USB cabling interface (older type-B jack which is an odd choice) and a standard XLR audio socket. The microphone is a small condenser-style microphone (about the size of a small lapel microphone) mounted on a double gooseneck boom with an integrated XLR male connector that plugs into the base unit XLR socket. The mic capsule is protected by a small wire mesh cage (think Shure SM-57 but on a much small scale). The kit included two foam wind socks to add to the mic if in a windy environment. From what I can tell, all of the exterior components are fabricated with metal! This thing is as solid as a brick. My only complaint with the assembly is a small plastic cover surrounding the mute button that cover the electronics. The cover is glued in place and didn't stick to the base during assembly at the factory. The plastic cover was "floating" when I received the mic and required me to remove the protective plastic sheet (to protect from scratching during shipping) and firmly re-attach to the base. Not a big deal at all and allowed me to take a look inside the base to observe a well-designed circuit board. Second, the audio quality. The microphone sounds incredible. Because it is a condenser-style microphone, it is quite sensitive and has a really good frequency range. The pickup pattern is cardioid with good rejection from the rear. It doesn't take a lot of gain from the PC to get a good conversation volume with a respectable distance from the mic. It is generally about 18-24" from me and at this distance is able to pickup my voice without adding a lot of natural room reverb. There is a handy electronic mute button in the base that kills the audio at the microphone and doesn't require software-based audio muting either from the native PC OS (I'm using it with Win 10 by the way) or applications (I regularyly use it with Zoom, MS Lync, MS Teams, and Cisco Webex for meetings). As a bonus, there is a red light on the base AND in a ring around the microphone capsule that glows red when the microphone is "live" from the base. AS this is a USB-based device, the native audio drivers (at least in Windows 10) can trigger the mute switch via the software microphone mute switch in the the audio control panel - which also triggers the light. Great way to be reminded that you may have a hot mic in your face :) Overall, this is a fantastic purchase. The value is definitely there and I recommend to anyone looking for a general-purpose, USB-attached PC microphone.
Review: Perfect! Worked better than we hoped - We used this microphone to record critiques during dance routines. Even with the music blasting the judges voice was clear and easy to understand when played back.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the mute button mute the computer's input audio signal or does it just mute the microphone itself from sending audio to the computer?**
A: The button does NOT mute audio input on your PC!  The button turns on/off the mic's integrated sound card to bypass your PC's sound card.  With the button off, the mic is still active and listening through your PC's sound card.  With the button on (LED is red), the mic's input signal is boosted and clarity is theoretically improved.  There is no way to mute the mic without disabling ALL of your PC's audio input devices, thereby muting all input signals to your PC.

**Q: Does the base supply phantom power?**
A: The USB connection powers the microphone. If you have any further questions  please contact us at 800-644-9525.

**Q: Many gooseneck microphones cost $20-$30. this ecs microphone costs $60.  what are the advantages of this microphone - over the cheaper ones?**
A: Our WordSentry USB is made entirely of high quality metal for extreme stability and durability. The microphone itself is unidirectional for superior recording quality as opposed to the omnidirectional microphone most cheaper, plastic microphones contain.

**Q: seems like a lot of trouble just to adjust the volume. Why isn't there a volume control on the mic?**
A: Hi Peachygirl, full volume control is on the device you plug this microphone into.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not just some trashy USB mic, just good XLR and a good interface
*by E***K on 1 February 2023*

This thing is built like a tank, the gooseneck works great, and there were no driver issues (plug and play). Sound options allow you to toggle automatic gain control, and there's plenty of volume from this thing (I've set it to 70% and it's still plenty). In reality, this is essentially a bundle of an XLR to USB interface with a solid quality XLR gooseneck mic. That means that if the gooseneck/mic portion ever breaks I can just swap it out, or if I really want to I could use this as an interface for any XLR mic that's plug-and-play with AGC (maybe check phantom power details before doing so).
