Mackie Releases New Element Series USB Microphones
Mackie has expanded its EleMent Series with a variety of new additions. The line of professional-quality mics first launched in January 2020 and continues to grow this fall with five new products: EM-91CU USB Condenser Microphone, Carbon Premium USB Condenser Microphone, Chromium Premium USB Condenser Microphone with Build-in 2-Channel Mixer, DB-100 Desktop Microphone Boom Arm, and PF- 100 Pop Screen.
“The EleMent Series combines the qualities that Mackie is known for: studio-quality sound, affordability, and Built-Like-A-Tank construction,” said Craig Reeves, Product Manager at Mackie. “and now this great microphone series offers even more versatility and choice for musicians, content creators, educators, and beyond.”
In addition to the new USB microphones, Mackie is also now offering their affordable MC-100 Professional Closed-Back Headphones, which were previously only available as part of Mackie gear bundles, as a standalone product that can be purchased separately.
