Austrian Audio MiCreator Satellite Compact Condenser Microphone
Enjoy peace of mind at no extra cost
Key Info
Flexible positioning with tiltable design
The MiCreator Satellite from Austrian Audio is a versatile microphone that can be used on a table or mounted on a standard microphone stand. You can easily mount it on a stand with a 3/8" thread, while an MCTA thread adapter is included for mounting on stands with a 5/8" thread. To ensure stability on flat surfaces, the MiCreator Satellite is equipped with rubber feet. Additionally, the suspended capsule design offers excellent isolation from structure-borne noise and even allows you to use it as a handheld microphone.
It's important to align the tilting capsule head with the sound source you're recording, ensuring that the direction of maximum sensitivity of the capsule points straight at the grille. With its cardioid polar pattern, the MiCreator Satellite effectively captures sound from the front while minimizing noise from the back.
Headphone output for direct monitoring
Setting up the MiCreator Satellite is a breeze. Simply connect it to a device with a TRRS socket using the included MCC2 Link cable. The microphone signal is transmitted to the end device, while the playback is routed from the end device to the headphone jack on the MiCreator Satellite labeled "out". You can connect your headphones to this jack to listen to other participants in a video conference, for example.
If you want to connect to a microphone jack on a device like a camera, you can use a Y-adapter (such as the included HSA6 adapter) as long as the device provides the necessary plug-in power. If you're unsure, it's always best to consult the manufacturer of the device. It's important to note that the MiCreator Satellite does not have internal amplification, so the volume depends on the end device. For spoken words, a recommended microphone signal amplification of about 20 to 30dB is suitable. Similarly, the headphone amplification can be adjusted on the end device according to personal preference.
Expandable design with with MiCreator Studio
The MiCreator Satellite is optimally designed to work in conjunction with the MiCreator Studio microphone, which features a USB-C® connection. The two devices are connected using the MCC2 Link cable. One end is connected to the "in/out" socket of the MiCreator Studio, while the other end is connected to the "link" socket of the MiCreator Satellite. This setup allows for seamless interviews where both individuals can monitor the audio via headphones.
Additionally, the MiCreator Studio and MiCreator Satellite have identical acoustic properties, enabling stereo recordings when used together. To achieve this, you can mount both products on the separately available MCMB MiniBar using the MCTA thread adapters. The MCMB MiniBar ensures a standardized distance between the capsules of 17cm, complying with the ORTF stereo technique standards. For optimal results, the two microphones should be positioned at an opening angle of 110° to each other.
Complete with interchangeable faceplates and transport case
With the MiCreator Satellite, you have the option to personalize its appearance by swapping out the cover plates. The package includes a red variant, but you can easily replace it with the cover plate of your choice. To do so, simply insert your finger into the small recess below the cover plate on the MiCreator Satellite and remove the current cover plate. Attaching a new cover plate is just as simple – it will securely snap into place, thanks to the four magnets in the MiCreator Satellite. In addition to the included colour variants, you can also purchase separate white and black versions that are blank, allowing you to design your own custom MiCreator DIY Plates Satellite.
When transporting the MiCreator Satellite, it is essential to detach any connected cables. To ensure safe and convenient transportation of the MiCreator Satellite alongside the MiCreator Studio, the MCSC Carry Case is available for separate purchase. This case provides protection and organization for your equipment, ensuring that you can take your MiCreator setup on the go without worry.
