<h2>What is the X2u best suited to?</h2>

<p>The X2u, combined with any wired microphone can be easily connected directly to a computer without the need for any additional hardware. This would make it ideal for home recording studios.</p>

<h2>Will it work with my computer?</h2>

<p>The X2u is compatible with Windows 7, 8, 10 (32 & 64 bit), Vista (32 & 64 bit), XP, 2000 and Max OS X (10.1 or later). It features a built in headphone jack so that you can monitor the sound without the need for an additional sound card. It also includes an integrated pre-amp with mic gain control which allows you to control the signal strength.</p>

<h2>Can I use a condenser microphone with the X2U?</h2>

<p>The X2U does have phantom power so yes you can connect your condenser microphone straight into the computer</p>

<h2>Do I need software to make the X2U work?</h2>

<p>No - it is a plug and play solution</p>

<h2>And what about latency?</h2>

<p>Latency can be described as the time taken between initiating a request in the computer and receiving the answer.
