• Crystal-clear, omnidirectional sound for every corner of the room: The VB-MIC-201 uses a true omnidirectional pickup pattern to capture voices from all directions. This makes it exceptional for meetings where multiple speakers are at different positions around a table, on a stage, or in a classroom. The result is balanced audio with consistent gain across participants, reducing the need for repeated shouting or repositioning the microphone.
• Extended pickup range up to 26 feet with VB-CAM-201 integration: When connected to the VB-CAM-201 4K webcam, the microphone’s coverage expands dramatically, enabling high-quality capture in larger spaces. This capability helps ensure everyone is heard clearly, from the front of the room to the far corners, without forcing people to crowd around a single device.
• USB plug-and-play convenience with broad compatibility: The VB-MIC-201 is designed for effortless use across Windows and macOS systems, delivering instant usability with most leading video conferencing and streaming platforms. Its USB interface means you can deploy it with popular apps like Zoom, Teams, Meet, and livestreaming software without complex driver setups.
• Built for professional environments with reliable build and performance: Engineered to withstand day-to-day use in executive offices, classrooms, and studios, this wired microphone sits neatly on a desk or mounts discreetly near a camera. Its sturdy construction supports long service life in high-demand environments while delivering consistent audio performance.
• Synergistic clarity for video conferencing and streaming: Pairing the VB-MIC-201 with ViewSonic’s VB-CAM-201 4K webcam creates a comprehensive AV package that elevates the quality of virtual meetings, webinars, and live productions. The combination ensures the spoken word is intelligible, enabling smoother discussions, better collaboration, and a more professional presence on screen.
