BOYA BY-CM6A All-in-one USB Microphone

General Introduction

Thanks for choosing BOYA! The BOYA BY-CM6A is a desktop USB microphone with a built-in camera and an LED ring light. It is compatible with Windows and Mac comput-ers, ideal for live streaming, video conferencing, vocal performance, and more. With a cardioid pickup pattern, the BY-CM6A is designed to capture sound in front of the microphone and effectively reduce unwanted background noise. The built-in camera provides crisp, clear images with an HD resolution of 1080p at 30fps. The BOYA BY-CM6A features built-in controls for gain, headphone volume and muting, while the 3.5mm headphone jack enables real-time monitoring. An LED ring light surrounds the camera, providing even illumination for the user. Finally, an adjustable desktop stand allows you to adjust the microphone to the desired angle.

Cautions

  • If you do not intend to use the microphone for a long period of time, please remove the USB cable.
  • Do not touch the microphone while recording, as this will cause noise to be recorded.
  • Do not let the microphone close to high-voltage equipment or to devices that emit strong electromagnetic fields, otherwise, it may cause the noise to be recorded.
