The NearStream AM10B is a compact and versatile analog/USB camera-mount microphone designed for effortless high-quality audio capture in podcasting, livestreaming, video calls, gaming, and on-the-go interviews—indoors or outdoors. Equipped with an advanced 8-MEMS microphone array, AI-driven noise cancellation, and three selectable pickup patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8), the AM10B adapts to diverse recording environments, delivering crystal-clear sound while minimizing unwanted background noise.
Its dual-output design—featuring both a 3.5mm TRS analog jack and a USB-C digital connection—ensures seamless compatibility with cameras, iOS/Android smartphones and tablets as well as macOS, Windows, and Linux computers. The included foam windshield further enhances clarity by reducing wind interference, making it an ideal choice for professional and mobile content creators alike.
This ensures a high 70 dB vocal signal-to-noise ratio, capturing crystal-clear sound within a 10" radius.
- Omnidirectional: ideal for multi-person recordings, capturing sound from all directions.
- Cardioid: perfect for solo content creators, including podcasters, gaming streamers, and vocal recordings, focusing on sound from the front while minimizing background noise.
- Bidirectional: optimized for face-to-face conversations, capturing sound from the front and back while reducing side noise.
A mute button offers instant audio silencing, making it especially useful for live streaming and online meetings.
The microphone also supports DSLR cameras, camcorders, and audio recorders via its 3.5mm microphone jack, making it a versatile choice for various recording setups.
