It's a USB Mic. No, it's a studio condenser. Stop, you're both right. The Studio Projects LSM (a.k.a. Little Square Mic) is both a high-definition, bus-powered USB microphone and a budget-friendly, 48v-powered large diaphragm condenser microphone. At the same time, if need be.

Studio Project lead designer Brent Casey spoke with Gearwire about the LSM at the most recent AES show. As Brent attests, this compact, multi-purpose microphone was designed with sound quality of primary interest. Because hey, why not have your Skype conversation partner hear all the nasty little things you say about the under your breath?
