A tripod support for tabletop use is also supplied.

Craft Your Own Sound

Utilize the renowned Aural Exciter and Big Bottom in conjunction with sophisticated APHEX processing to tailor the XCM-50 s sound signature to your voice. Compressor, noise gate, and high-pass filter: these tools reduce ambient noise and restore punchy, detailed, and smooth audio. With granular control over each processor, you can fine-tune to perfection, just like you would with professional audio mixing software. All audio processing when using UNIFY with a Rode X microphone is handled by a potent DSP chip inside the microphone, relieving pressure on your CPU and allowing you to hear everything through your headphones as it happens.
