Our take on the Rockville A-STREAM USB Condenser Microphone with Gain Control

The Rockville A-STREAM is a plug-and-play USB condenser microphone aimed at Zoom calls, streaming, podcasting and gaming. It adds two things the older Z-Stream lacks: a gain knob on the body and a mute button with an LED status light. It ships with a desktop stand, USB cable and foam windscreen. It is a budget mic, and its 3.7-out-of-5 rating from just 3 ratings is too thin to lean on.

Questions and answers

Is the A-STREAM worth it over the older Z-Stream?
If you want on-mic volume control and a mute button, yes. The A-STREAM adds a gain knob and mute button with LED; the Z-Stream has neither. Sound is otherwise similar.
Does it work with a phone or tablet?
Rockville lists Windows and Mac computers only. USB-C phones and iPads may work with an adapter, but that is not promised, so treat it as a computer mic.
Do I need a boom arm or shock mount?
Not to start. The included desktop stand works, but a boom arm gets the mic closer to your mouth and reduces desk thumps and room echo.
Why does it pick up my fan and keyboard?
It is a condenser mic, which is more sensitive than a dynamic mic. Use the gain knob low, speak close, and add soft furnishings or a foam shield to tame the room.
What's in the box?
The microphone, a USB cable, a desktop stand, a foam windscreen, an owner's manual and a warranty card.
When is it cheapest?
Budget USB mics like this tend to dip during back-to-school and holiday sales. Check the price history before buying.
