Onyx Artist 1.2 2x2 USB Recording Interface with RCM03 Microphone

This bundle combines the Mackie Onyx Artist 1.2 USB audio interface with the Rockville RCM03 condenser microphone for a straightforward home recording setup. The Onyx Artist 1.2 is bus-powered and built around a boutique-quality Onyx mic preamp with 48V phantom power, a 1/4 inch Hi-Z input for guitar or bass, and 24-bit/192kHz recording with zero-latency direct monitoring. The RCM03 is an all-aluminum "lollipop" style condenser mic with a 16mm diaphragm and unidirectional cardioid pattern that focuses on what is in front of it while rejecting sound from the sides and rear. It ships with a metal shock mount, an anti-wind foam cap, and two cables so it connects to the interface's phantom power or, on its own, straight into a computer with the 3.5mm jack. Together they cover vocals, podcasts, voiceovers, and guitar or bass tracking at a home desk. The interface also includes Tracktion recording software and a bundle of 23 DAW plugins covering EQ, compression, reverb, and more, so there is a complete signal chain from mic to finished track without buying additional software. At 1.1 lb, the interface is light enough to travel with, while the RCM03's aluminum chassis at 0.84 lb keeps the mic stable on a stand without adding bulk to a bag.
