Alesis AM3 is the world’s first handheld stereo USB microphone. The AM3 is a stereo condenser microphone that enables users to record stereo audio directly onto their computers. Perfect for portable stereo recording, musicians, journalists and other audio enthusiasts will find the AM3 convenient and easy to use.

The AM3 makes computer connection simple, requiring nothing more than a standard USB port on your Mac or PC. Because it has a stereo, analog-to-digital conversion system built inside its housing, there’s no need for a preamplifier. And because the AM3 has a mini-USB jack output, there’s no need for complicated interface boxes or timecode alignment between the two sides. One cable is all you need for this digital solution.

The AM3 features a dual-capsule condenser microphone design that enables you to record detailed stereo audio. Wide, 30 ? 20,000 Hz frequecy response rivals that of microphones costing tens of times more money! And its studio-ready analog-to-digital conversion creates 16-bit, 44.1 or 48kHz signal. The mic’s body even has a gain control for adjusting the input trim with no computer control required.

The AM3 comes with a free Alesis podcast-hosting subscription enabling you to share your recordings with the world. The AM3 also comes with a carry case, mic clip, and cable.
