Every once in a while something
comes along that just does a great job, and the audio it passes is exceptional
even at a low price. The MicPort Pro wowed me from the first moment I plugged
it in (and it functioned flawlessly with no drivers on an XP PC!) with its
simple design and features. The MicPort Pro is a mic preamp with switchable phantom
power and a headphone amp with an 1/8” output. It uses USB to connect and
requires no driver install on any modern PC or MAC.
The preamp is very clean and quiet,
and the detail really took me back with this unit. Way more sound was coming out
of it than I ever expected any item that could almost be considered a ‘convenience’
item like this. The headphone amp on it absolutely cranks, I never found a
situation where it wasn’t ready to overdrive the cans if needed either. It
offers about +40dB of gain which is plenty with a condenser mic, and seemed
suitable for most dynamic mics I plugged in also. For singer songwriters who
want to record to a laptop or desktop computer and only monitor with headphones
on, the MicPort Pro is sent straight from heaven. Grab a free software program
off the web and for super low dough, couple the MicPort with a decent condenser
mic and make music. Podcasters are snapping these units up, for good reason
also: most use headphones and this thing is just too easy.
Conclusion: The only limitation is
it only has a headphone level output, I admit I have not tried to plug into a
line level monitor controller but it’s certainly not optimized for a proper
speaker monitor setup. However, for interviews and even foley sound with a
laptop I think this is the perfect product. For podcasters it is a very high
quality delivery if you have a good mic.
