The ATR4650-USB is a small condenser boundary microphone with an omnidirectional pickup pattern to provide full 360° coverage; it's meant to be put on the table for interviews, video/teleconferencing, and casual recording applications, such as meetings, conversations, and note-taking. It can be snapped into the included slim-profile monitor mount and affixed to a computer monitor or other surface, or clip it onto your lapel with the included clothing clip.
