I've owned the Apogee MiC 96k for a few years now. It is the predecessor to the current Apogee offering. I do own other condenser mics that I usually record with but being stuck at home without them this last month, I used the Apogee to record some ideas, including a thunderstorm that came through. To say the least I was quite impressed with the results. I went direct to a 1st gen iPad Pro running Cubasis ii. Here's a Soundcloud link if you're interested. I have not had an opportunity to compare a new Apogee mic against the older version.

Wow. That is absolutely beautiful. (Mic sounds good too) Thanks for posting!

That was wonderful! A treat. That’s for posting to this thread. I appreciate it. It inspires me to make some good music with the new mic. |

Hi Folks! Did the first steaming with the Apogee HypeMic. I used the middle compression setting because evidently my dynamics require it. Lol
Also, it seems the video could not keep up with the audio, so I may be forced to upgrade computers, or change settings. Video for those who use Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dcallan1/vi...7358485543137/ |
I'm in the 96k is pointless for home recording camp, but especially if you are streaming, I'd be going with 48k and maybe even dial the phone/camera back to 720p. Test the live feed privately first to get settings that work.

Indeed, the 96k is overkill from a frequency response standpoint. But what I was most interested is the 24 bit resolution for the dynamic headroom. And, evidently, the two are paired together in a number of these home/audio products. 48/24 would have been just fine, but that wasn’t offered with the compressor. The 720p webcam is all my computer’s graphics card can push anyway. I think the bottom line is that the analog compressor is WAY more valuable than I thought for my style of singing and playing. |

I think it’s just the evolution of their product line. Why make more than one chip? Also it’s designed for recording, I’m just using it for streaming. And the compression is optional of course. All that aside, I can tell you it’s the best sounding USB solution I’ve tried. I won’t be using any other USB product after this. It just works well for me. |
Martingitdave, Thanks for the post and bringing this mic to our attention, I'm seriously considering buying one on Thursday or Friday. I did some due diligence on You Tube and it's getting great reviews there. I'm thinking it would make a great addition to my little home video studio. Even though $350 is a lot of money, it's a lot of mic with an Apogee compressor built in....

I’m also grateful to hear about the HypeMic and ordered one the other day. I have been a fan of Apogee for a number of years, with the Duet interface and the original Mic, which I still use but plan to sell when my HypeMic arrives. I am mostly focused on making videos these days and can’t wait to enjoy those built in compression settings!

I just placed my order for one...I bought it directly from Apogee. I compared the price of the Hyper mic to the the two AT 4140's and the AKG C214's I already have, and the HyperMic is very comparable with pricing, plus I'd get the Apogee compressor built in, which makes it a bargain. After hearing the A/B test with a Neumann on You Tube, it was a no brainer. After hearing a demo of the compressor, I felt I needed this mic to add depth to my voice.....so why wait....

I like the idea of that apogee mic, can you plug it directly into an iPhone 11?
Like many of us, I'm trying to find a good solution for hi-fi life streaming. Please let me know if this workflow would work or if I'm missing something. AKG414 mic > iRig Pro> iPhone 11 > Facebook Live Thanks! |
