The Sennheiser Profile is a USB-C condenser microphone for podcasts and streaming. It uses a German-engineered cardioide capsule that rejects off-axis sound, and it delivers a natural, warm sound that adds presence and body to the human voice. It has a sturdy metal housing.
Three dedicated controls adjust the sound. Gain sets the microphone level. Mix balances the microphone against audio from your device. Volume sets the level of the headphone monitoring. A touch mute button silences the microphone without any audible click. A multifunction LED ring changes from green to orange when the signal is too loud.
The microphone is plug-and-play: your device recognizes it automatically, with no audio interface or complex software needed. An adjustable tilt joint locks itself in place so you can aim the microphone at the sound source. For best results, place it within 15 cm (6 in) of the source. The desktop stand works with 3/8" and 5/8" mounting options. The Profile Streaming Set adds an articulated boom arm with built-in cable management.
