Arozzi Sfera Black/Red is a wired USB table microphone designed for clear voice capture on PC and Mac. Compact and portable with a diameter of 9 cm and weighing 360 g, the microphone features a high-quality condenser capsule with a cardioid polar pattern, offering focused pickup for single-voice sources.

Advantages

How to use

Position the microphone on its adjustable stand or attach it to a boom arm using the 5/8 inch threaded mount for a preferred working height and angle.

Plug headphones into the 3.5 mm jack to monitor audio in real time and adjust the headphone volume with the built-in control. Use the mute button to cut audio instantly when needed.

Usage recommendations

For optimal voice clarity, place the microphone 10–30 cm from the speaker and slightly off-axis to reduce plosive sounds. Use a pop filter or windscreen if available, and monitor levels in your recording or streaming software to prevent clipping. For best results in untreated rooms, position the microphone away from reflective surfaces and sources of noise such as fans or open windows.
