Do you use iChat AV or AIM or another chat application for audio chat? Do you use speech recognition software, such as iListen? Do you use a Powerbook or iBook for classroom or business presentations? Do you record voiceovers for video, voice tracks for media projects, or voice notes for email? Do you record vocal or acoustic instrument tracks into GarageBand? If you do any of these, the one most important piece of hardware you need to sound great and have the most fun is a terrific microphone. And, until now, there just hasn't been one.

The MicFlex is a top-quality microphone coupled to a better than CD-quality USB audio conversion circuit (16-bit, 48KHz sampling), both housed neatly in a small aluminum pod at the end of a flexible stainless steel tubing stand. The tube itself is softly satin polished, and is solidly mounted to the same field-proven extra heavy hemispherical silver base we use on our wildly popular SightFlex iSight web camera stand. The flexible tube with the microphone pod stands about 18-inches above the base, and, the tube portion is removable from that base... just pull out the USB-plug terminated tube, and you have a self-contained, portable USB microphone. The hemispherical base has an attached 5-foot long silver/clear braided USB cable.

So, How Does It Work?
The same physical properties found in our popular SightFlex are present with our MicFlex, as well. MicFlex can be twisted, yanked, snatched, pulled, tugged, and otherwise deformed into pretty much any shape you can imagine to help you find just the right position. We'll just repeat the same description as for the SightFlex: "Use it beside a display, peeking over a display or Powerbook, peeking around a display or Powerbook, squished down in a coil, twisted in a knot, or even sneakily peeking out from under an Apple Cinema or Studio LCD display!" Pull the flex tube from the base, plug it into a Powerbook or iBook, and carry your top-notch USB microphone on the road!
