Key features
Cardioid for Content Creators
Designed with content creators in mind, this professional membrane microphone is adept at streaming, recording and broadcasting any kind of content. Thanks to the cardioid pattern, background noise is reduced, which makes this microphone suitable for podcasts, voice-overs, livestreams and instrument recordings; every sound you make will be captured in the highest possible quality.
Boom Arm
For studio-quality recordings, you need a stable setup. This studio-grade boom arm is made from sturdy aluminium to reduce unwanted sounds from vibration. The arm is fully adjustable, so you can secure the best position and angle to record, while keeping an eye on ergonomics at the same time. Clamping onto a table, the stand saves space, and a hidden cable keeps your desk clean.
Pro Features
Several pro features are included in the Onyx’ design. The shock mount reduces the sound of any movement, while the pop filter filters out unwanted popping sounds for a crystal-clear quality. Furthermore, the zero-latency headphone monitoring port enables you to listen to what you’re recording in real-time, without any delay. Situated on the body of the microphone is the gain dial; this allows you to quickly adjust the audio sensitivity. You’ll also find the easy-access mute control there – when muted, the LED light will turn red.
Easy Setup
Recording is instant and effortless with the Onyx. Thanks to the USB connection, all you need is a desktop or laptop with a USB port. A hub with one extra USB port is included for extra convenience.

The pick-up pattern of a microphone is the sensitivity to sound relative to the direction or angle from which the sound arrives, or how well the microphone "picks up" the sound from different directions. The most common types are: Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Unidirectional, Bidirectional.
CARDIOID
The most commonly used pattern is most sensitive at 0° (the front) and least sensitive at 180° (the back). This isolates it from unwanted ambient sound. You can use this for most recording applications. It is easy to get a good signal as the cardioid pattern blends out a bad sounding room, a noisy fan in the background, etc.
OMNIDIRECTIONAL
The omnidirectional microphone has equal sensitivity at all angles. This means it picks up sound evenly from all directions. Therefore, the microphone need not be aimed in a certain direction. It will be especially useful in good sounding rooms.
UNIDIRECTIONAL
Unidirectional microphones are most sensitive to sound arriving from directly in front (at 0°) and less sensitive in other directions. This makes unidirectional microphones effective at isolating the desired sound from both unwanted sound and ambient noise.
BIDIRECTIONAL
A bidirectional microphone (with figure-8 pattern) picks up the sound from in front of the microphone (at 0°) and from the rear (at 180°), but not the side (at 90° and 270°). It can be beneficial in situations where you do not want a signal coming from a 90° angle to bleed into the microphone.
