Apogee is an audio hardware company that develops world-leading digital audio conversion technology that is recognized as the industry's reference standard. The brand has also won a lot of TEC awards over the years, and the acoustic giant Sennheiser has also been a long-term partner of Apogee. Apogee's USB microphone was originally tailored for Apple, and when the MiC 96K was remodeled in 2016, it was only implemented to support Windows, so it was also nicknamed "Apple's royal microphone" by some enthusiasts.
The MiC 96K has a compact design and is only the size of a palm. With Apogee's analog-to-digital conversion technology, the pick-up sound is clean and precise. The MiC PLUS is very similar to the 96K in terms of design and sound orientation, but the MiC PlUS adds mute control and a monitor jack that the 96K does not have, further improving the ease of use. When connected to an iOS device, both microphones can record and organize audio files through the app provided by Apogee, which provides convenience for mobile office. Due to the high brand awareness and balanced product performance, the pricing of these two USB microphones is also much higher than that of similar products, MiC 96K is priced at 1680 yuan, and MiC PLUS is priced at 2088 yuan.
