Professional XLR Condenser Microphone

The PROAR S-678 is a cardioid condenser microphone built around a 14mm capsule and professional sound chipset. It delivers a wide 20Hz-20kHz frequency response with 78dB signal-to-noise ratio and 130dB sensitivity. Designed for creators who need studio-grade vocal capture for podcasting, streaming, voice-over, ASMR, and home recording.

XLR Connection Requires Phantom Power

This microphone uses an XLR connector and requires 48V phantom power from an audio interface, mixer, or preamp to operate. The interface is not included in the package. The kit includes a desktop stand for immediate placement on a desk or table. It frees up USB ports and avoids driver installation, integrating directly into professional analog audio chains.

Low-Noise Operation With External Power

The condenser design draws operating power from the 48V phantom supply, adding no load to the host computer. High 78dB SNR keeps the noise floor low during quiet passages. The cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis room sound, reducing the need for aggressive noise gates. The included desktop stand provides stable positioning without mechanical vibration transfer.

Questions about this item

Does the 14 mm capsule and 130 dB sensitivity cause overload when recording loud sources close up?

The cardioid capsule handles high SPL cleanly; keep the mic a fist-width from the source and set gain on your interface so peaks stay below 0 dBFS.

How warm does the S-678 get and does it add noise after hours of streaming?

The microphone body stays at room temperature and its 78 dB signal-to-noise ratio stays consistent during long sessions.

Which 48 V phantom power supply or audio interface do I need before the XLR mic will work?

Any standard 48 V phantom power source — audio interface, mixer or dedicated preamp — will power the XLR connection.
