sE Electronics USB2200a - Manual

USB2200a – Technical Information
Based on the studio standard sE2200a, the USB2200a records via USB directly to your DAW
and has several features unique from competitor USB mics including, zero latency head-
phone monitoring, mix control playback/record path, 10dB pad, bass cut and simultaneous
analogue/USB feeds.
The USB2200a also has a proprietary chip and software set which deals with capsule noise
when transforming the 5v power supplied via the USB cable to power the capsule, by first
removing noise and spikes from the current. This noise would normally be amplified, which
is why other USB mics are too noisy to use in a professional environment.
No other USB mic on the market offers this kind of specification, and it makes a huge
difference to the performance for studio use. The chip also delivers true plug in and play
capability, automatically configuring the mic to the host as it is connected.
