Don't ever worry about batteries again! Ok we already know that Martel's HGM-1 court reporter microphone is the best in the world. The HGM-1 uses a hearing aid chip and other electronics to actively filter out back ground noises such as air conditioners and paper rustlers. If you are a court reporter you need the Hearing Aid IC chip filter to get rid of back ground noise and track human voices. Now you never have to worry about batteries running out on you during that important depo or murder case. Designed with the elite career court reporters day in mind, we have made the perfect Audio Sync laptop microphone.  

     The HGMUSB has improved audio quality, about 3 times the pickup range and sensitivity of the average court reporting microphones. During the last couple of years major laptop makers have continually lowered the standards of built-in sound cards, resulting in sound quality problems for our reporters. If your career is counting on the right equipment, you can't afford to be without a HGMUSB Audio Sync microphone!

 We have specifically designed the HGMUSB 2.0 court reporter microphone to have a 3 Feet Cable. The cables allows you to extend the microphone away from all the Laptop noise, example,  fan, processor, and typing noise . That is why we did not make the microphone just plug in the side of the computer and extend 1 inch, which would be a disaster for picking up voices.

     The HGMUSB has all the advantages of the original HGM-1 but doesn't need batteries. The microphone goes around the sound card so if you have a poor sound card it does not matter. 100% digital audio replication. Saving precious processing power for your court reporting software. Martel spent years developing a solution that exceeds the pick up range of the HGM-1. The HGMUSB has a pick-up range of up to 75 Feet.(The Reason we don't make it pickup say 70-90 feet is that you will pick up air condition noise and too much back ground noise.)

     The Martel HGMUSB Digital court reporter microphone has a very special performance advantage. Since the HGMUSB microphone is already sending a digital signal your laptop wont need to use it Intel processor to change the audio signal to a digital signal. This will save precious computer resources and make your computer faster and more reliable. Specially if you are a real time reporter.
