All you need for professional-sounding recordings is your Macintosh computer or laptop and this all-in-one desktop recording kit from MXL. The D.R.K includes a self-powered large-diaphragm condenser microphone, desktop stand, microphone clip, XLR microphone cable, iBooster signal booster-adapter, XLR to mini-plug adapter cable, 3.5mm mini-plug to 1/4" adapter, 9V battery, and recording guide. Its perfect for recording vocals, instruments and for voice-over speech to liven home CD and DVD video recordings, location sound effects and podcasting.

The MXL i.booster raises any low-level input signal, such as those of microphones and electric guitar, to the audio input level of Apple personal computers. This compact, affordable interface is an essential tool for Apple home recording and multimedia enthusiasts. The electric guitar and cardioid condenser microphones (the microphone type used in professional recording environments) output a relatively low level signal. They need to be amplified to a higher level to be used effectively with Apple Macintosh computers--both the iMac and the larger Power Mac tower systems. The MXL iboost is an inexpensive alternative to using expensive mic preamplifiers and guitar input devices.
