Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, HISONG have announced that their innovative AirStudio S1 device is now available to order. Said to be the world’s first “all-in-one recording capsule” for musicians and content creators, the compact system combines a high-quality mic with a USB-C audio interface, and includes a pair of wireless IEM ear buds that can be neatly stored the mic’s body.
Aiming to provide users with everything they need to capture audio in a single, convenient device, the AirStudio S1 has been designed to tackle recording, live-streaming, podcasting and vlogging duties without the need for any additional hardware. Although it may look like your average USB mic at first glance, the device helpfully includes a pair of wireless earbuds that can be used for monitoring purposes, and can be conveniently stowed away in behind a panel in the mic’s body. Thanks to the company’s proprietary wireless technology the system is able to deliver latency as low as 24ms — far below the typical 100–250 ms offered by Bluetooth devices.
Physical controls on the mic’s body offer quick and easy access to settings such as input gain, muting, monitoring level and a selection of effects presets, while deeper control is available via a companion mobile application. Connectivity with a host device is provided by USB-C, and a pair of RX Mini adapters provide both USB-C and 3.5mm connections that allow signals to be fed to cameras, speaker systems, mixers and so on.
