Me and my Microphone are in a Retro Mood
Posted by: Maria Mihale in Gadgets

Although there are still countries where people do not fully understand the meaning of the word “gadgetâ€, we can surely talk about a “gadget mania†spread all over the world. More and more people are starting to use gadgets nowadays, because let’s be honest: we all have at least one mobile phone or a MP3 player. As far as I’m concerned, the concept has such an extended area, that almost anything could be labeled under the name of “gadgetâ€.
I was very surprised to find out, for example, that a chair could easily be categorized as a computer gadget as long as the features it brings exceed, technically and aesthetically speaking, previous inventions. But what if you are the kind of person who has a thing for retro design and does not appreciate the modern line promoted nowadays on every kind of market? 
If your computer does not have an embedded microphone and you need an external one, then the perfect option is the USB Retro Wireless Microphone, which you are surely going to love because of its vintage look. Being a mixture of old and new, it will make you feel just like a radio DJ from the 60’s whenever you will be using it.
With the technology of today, the gadget is conveniently wireless. With other words, the radio-frequency identification used by this microphone allows you to use from a distance up to three meters away from the USB port it’s connected to.

The USB Retro Wireless Microphone measures 80x80x160 mm and weights 149 g. It has a working voltage of DC 5V (from USB), a sensitivity of 5 V and a signal to noise ratio of 50db. The harmonic distortion goes to 1% (AF = +/- 22.5 Hz), meanwhile the Audio Frequency Output Power is 50mW and the Audio Frequency Band Width is 125 ~ 12000 Hz. The microphone is fully compatible with Windows XP, Vista, Mac OSX and there are no additional drivers required.
The microphone is available on Brando and for only $29 you will be on air every single day.
