Review: the Apogee Hype Mic is solid, well-built, compact, well-accessorized, & matches the hype - Apogee is known for making solid products. This latest mic is beautifully made and they provide it with a great little case, with almost everything you'll need to make great recordings. I use it for voice-over, especially when I need portability. It is one of the few quality condenser mics that can plug directly into the iPad and work without external power. I tried a larger Marshall USB mic and it required a powered camera adapter -- that can be a pain, if you're trying to record where an outlet is not easily available. The mic itself has some nifty features, like the (almost) zero-latency headphone jack with adjustable mix b/w headphones and playback, a fairly easy-to-use gain setting dial, and it's much-bragged-about built-in compression. That feature is much more important for broadcast/podcast use. For voice-over, many clients want to be able to go back to raw signal and hardware compression means the "original" signal has been messed with on input. But, for a recent promo-style VO, the lowest compression setting worked well for me, and it's easy enough to turn off. The mic quality itself is really pretty darned good. It's good enough for professional work. I haven't compared it to my highest-end mics, but it did the job. One thing it's missing -- that Apogee doesn't provide with any of its mics -- is a shock mount. They provide a tripod with a ball mount (very adjustable and solid), but you can easily get low-end rumble transmitted from mic handling or vibration of a table or floor. I did experiment, and the Rycote InVision USM-L (or USM) can be used, so there is a viable option. But that's another ~$70. Overall (and because I already have the Rycote), I've found it to be a valuable mic to have and I'm glad I bought it. It's not cheap, but it's high-quality & sometimes you get what you pay for.
Review: Recording quality and ease of use - Although it is on the pricey side this mic has beautiful sound quality. Very easy to use. I use it for recording my podcasts. I connected it to my I-phone and sound quality was perfect. However, when connected to my desktop (which is a ten years old Toshiba) for an online interview, I wasn’t as satisfied with the sound quality. Was it the old computer or the mic I do not know. I am not a techie. All I know, it is a high quality mic recommended to me by a friend who is a dubbing artist. Those of you on a tighter budget could look for other mics recommended by podcasters. Had I known good quality, below 100$ mics were available, I might have considered different options. All said and done, I am happy with my purchase. It is quite a small size, very portable, easy to mount and start. Comes handy with a nice hard top bag. Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Apogee Hype Mic
*by R***E on October 30, 2020*

First of all, I would like to say that it matches my MacBook I have :) I haven't used my new mic as of today; however, I had an old version of this mic and I know the quality of it. I am really excited to get started on vocals using this mic. I really like the fact that it is small and compact but delivers a great huge sound for what I need. I know I made the right choice in purchasing this mic for my specific needs. Excited!!!!! ————————— Updated review: I have used it in Logic Pro X to record by vocals!!! Yess!!!! I love it.. it has Vo press ion built in so using an interface is really not necessary. Excellent quality mic for singers/ vocals… home studio … you will definitely be impressed!!!!
