JBL Commercial CSUM10 compact USB microphone
More than a year after office workers began to work from home, most have become accustomed to a daily routing of numerous video calls and online meetings using collaboration platforms. Office workers, content creators, and professionals such as actors, stand-up comedians, artists, podcasters, vloggers, and YouTube Creators have invested in microphones, headphones, mixers, and editing software — and learned to use the tools for the creation and editing of audio/video content. Even teachers and educators have upped their game by using these digital tools. Those looking for a decent microphone on Amazon, would be presented with brands mainly from China, Korea or the US markets. A decent condenser microphone for podcasting, for instance, costs in the range of ₹ 10,000 – 15,000. But JBL has just made quality condenser microphones more affordable, dipping below the ₹ 10,000 ($137) threshold. It just launched the JBL Commercial CSUM10 compact USB microphone for the Indian market. The microphone is exclusively available on Amazon at a special launch price of ₹ 5799 ($80).
According to JBL, this new USB mic, which bears a striking resemblance to the Blue Yeti USB condenser mic, delivers a pristine studio quality sound for voice-overs, podcasters, vloggers, gamers, vocalists, acoustic instrument users and for users of web conferencing. Listeners can simply plug the mic into their PC or Mac and start recording, without the hassle of installing drivers.

Whether starting their own podcast, presenting on a conference call, or recording a song, the CSUM10 is definitely going to help users sound their best.”
