Detail 01
Boundary mic
Designed to lie on a hard surface and use it as part of the pickup, which flattens reflections that normally cause comb filtering.

CADU7 USB Desktop Boundary Microphone
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
USB boundary mic that sits flat on a desk or table. Built for conference calls and meeting capture, not music recording.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Picking up several people around a conference table
- Desktop calls where you want nothing between you and the screen
- Room capture for meeting notes or lecture recording
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Vocal or instrument tracking — a cardioid studio mic does that better
- Streamers who want a close, dry, broadcast-sounding voice
- Untreated rooms with echo, HVAC noise, or keyboard clatter
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
USB connection
Plugs straight into a computer. No interface, no phantom power, no XLR cable needed.
Detail 03
Desktop placement
Sits far from your mouth, so it captures the whole room — including fans, typing, and echo — not just you.
Detail 04
Wide desktop pickup
Good when multiple people talk. Bad when you want one voice isolated from everything else.
Detail 05
$109.99
Above webcam-mic quality, below studio-mic territory. The spend buys clear speech capture, not recording-grade detail.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Place it on a hard flat surface — soft desk mats undercut how a boundary mic works
- 02Check that your computer's OS lists it as an input device before a live call
- 03No stand, boom arm, or shock mount needed or included
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I record vocals or an acoustic guitar with this?
You can, but the result will sound distant and roomy. A boundary mic on a desk sits too far from the source for music recording.
02Does it need drivers or phantom power?
No phantom power — USB supplies what it needs. Most computers recognize USB mics as standard audio devices without installing anything.
03Will it pick up everyone in a meeting room?
That is what it is built for. Placed centrally on a table, it captures speech from around it rather than from one direction.
04Why does it sound echoey in my room?
It picks up the whole room. Hard walls and bare floors reflect sound back into it. Soft furnishings, rugs, or curtains reduce that.
