Harman has today announced a new USB mic aimed squarely at podcasters, musicians and other content creators, the AKG Ara. It’s a two-pattern USB condenser microphone, meaning it has two pickup points for audio, and this makes it suitable as a general room mic as well as for recording a single individual’s voice.
